  Is hospitality your passion?
  Are you interested in caring for others so they can be their best?
  Do you love the always changing, multi tasking, fast pace that is hotels?
  If yes, then this may be the role you have been looking for.

  As a Cook, you will be creating a welcoming and satisfying dining experience for our hotel guests by preparing fresh, high-quality meals in a clean and organized kitchen environment. You’ll play a key role in both our breakfast and evening dining services, ensuring that each dish is prepared with care, consistency, and efficiency. This position is ideal for individuals with experience in fast-paced food service environments—such as cafés or quick-service restaurants—who are passionate about delivering great food and friendly service. We anticipate the weekly schedule to include approximately three morning (breakfast) shifts and two evening shifts; however, this is subject to change based on business levels and operational needs. A successful candidate must be willing to “pitch-in” and help coworkers with their job duties and be a team player regardless of department.

  • Set up and stock workstations with necessary supplies and equipment.

  • Maintain cleanliness and organization of the kitchen, following health and safety regulations.

  • Monitor food stock to ensure adequate inventory levels.

  • Collaborate with team members to ensure timely and quality meal preparation.

  • Adapt to various roles within the kitchen as required, demonstrating flexibility and teamwork.

  Required Skills and Qualifications

  • Previous experience in a fast-paced kitchen environment, such as fast food or casual dining establishments.
  • Smart Serve and Food Handling Certified (Required within 30-days of hire).
  • Ability to work flexible hours, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays.
  • Must be 18 years of age or older.
  • Strong Written and oral grasp of the English Language (Bilingualism is an asset).
  • Ability to Lift, pull and push moderate weight (min 20lbs).

  We are committed to providing you with:

  • An exceptional benefit plan for eligible associates & your family members.
  • Free parking and 50% off in our dining establishment.
  • Flexible scheduling to allow you to focus on what is important to you.
  • Discounts with our Crescent managed properties in North America for you & your family members.
  • Opportunity to grow with us.
  • A workplace that you can be proud of, where you are valued, trusted and supported by the team.

  At Hyatt Place Ottawa West and Crescent Hotels & Resorts we strive to create a great place to work where associates at all levels of our organization are respected for their differences, just like the guests and owners we serve. That’s why we are dedicated to creating an environment that facilitates open and honest conversations about race, equity, diversity, and inclusion. By examining our own beliefs and behaviors, we can create change through training, recruiting, and promoting diverse talent to strengthen our culture.
