				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dandelion Chocolate is a small, but growing chocolate factory based in the Mission. We make our chocolate from the bean: we source our beans directly and then roast, crack, winnow, grind, conch, temper, and wrap small batches of chocolate. In addition, we have a cafe that serves hot chocolates and pastries made with our chocolate. Our cafe isn’t large, but it serves a large volume of guests each day. We aim to create an outstanding customer experience for our guests &#8212; telling our story, sharing our passion for chocolate, and delivering seamless service.</p>
<p>We are currently looking for a barista to help prepare and serve espresso drinks made with Four Barrel Coffee. For this position, we’re looking for more than simply experience on an espresso machine, but also passion for coffee and incredible attention to detail. We take great pride in making our chocolate, coffee, pastries, and hot chocolates and are thrilled to share them with the San Francisco community and beyond. The position entails:</p>
<p>- Creating espresso drinks made with Four Barrel Coffee<br />
- Cleaning and maintaining our cafe<br />
- Engaging guests with thoughtful service<br />
- Learning about our chocolate, its production, and then sharing our story with guests</p>
<p>Requirements</p>
<p>We are looking for someone who can demonstrate great skill in making espresso drinks, preferable someone who has 2-3 years of experience. In addition, we are looking for a quick learner with a great attitude. Or, as our cafe manager, Brian, says, “We’re looking for a coffee nerd with people skills and hands like the wind.” Here’s what we’re looking for additionally:</p>
<p>- A passion for coffee and chocolate<br />
- 2-3 years of experience making espresso drinks<br />
- A passion for making a quality product<br />
- A positive attitude<br />
- The ability to deliver cheerful, accurate, and thoughtful service<br />
- The ability to complete tasks quickly, accurately, and efficiently<br />
- Problem solving skills and adaptability<br />
- Critical thinking<br />
- A team player<br />
- Communication skills<br />
- Familiarity with a fast-paced work environment</p>
<p>If you are interested, we’d like to see your resume and we would love for you to write a few paragraphs about your favorite food experience or influence. Keep in mind that we value passion, attitude, and hard work above only experience, so tell us what inspires you to join our cafe team. Please contact us at jobs@dandelionchocolate.com.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>June marks our six month anniversary as the city&#8217;s newest private club. In the spirit of what it means to be a San Franciscan we are the furthest thing from pretentious but do strive for excellence when it comes to serving our members. We have two open positions for a server on our 11th floor main dining room, bespoke bar and private game room.</p>
<p>We require a minimum of 2 years of higher end casual to fine dining experience with a solid knowledge of wine (level 1 sommelier preferred) &amp; cocktails.

Hours will start in the 18-24 range with the opportunity for full time as the club continues to grow. We have a high tenure rate and our members love the staff so having an outgoing personality and a collaborative attitude will put you at the top of the list.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Known for attracting exceptional people who are passionate about service, our performance-driven environment prepares you to build a rewarding career in hospitality. Your first exposure is an intensive 4 months of rotational assignments in one of our restaurants.  Because our managers come from all backgrounds and industries, you are not expected to be an expert on day one, but will be given many opportunities within a short period of time to show your strengths.  From professional development workshops, to informal mentoring and guidance from your colleagues, we are creating well-rounded restaurateurs who are also savvy businesspeople. Outstanding graduates of our training program can earn the General Manager title in just a few years, and many General Managers in our company earn over $200K per year. Training occurs in select cities in California, Miami, and New York City, with subsequent assignments in markets all across the country, making relocation flexibility a must for consideration.</p>
<p>Our management team search is focused on individuals who are dedicated to consistently driving high standards and achieving service excellence. Those who enjoy a small-company-feel, are adept at building relationships, and have a single-minded focus on delivering quality should apply.</p>
<p>Email your résumé to Tambi.Yu@Hillstone.com.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>COCKTAIL TOUR GUIDE JOB DESCRIPTION<br />
Our award-winning food and cocktail tour company is hiring fun and entertaining tour guides to lead our walking Cocktail Tours in Union Square.  (We also lead Food, Wine and Cocktail Tours in the Mission and North Beach.)  Our tours take guests behind-the-scenes to meet bartenders and bar owners, restaurant owners and chefs – while eating their artisan delicacies and drinking delicious libations.</p>
<p>OUR IDEAL TOUR GUIDE<br />
People think you’re hilarious! When you go to a cocktail party you always have a story to tell and people often say how interesting you are. You have an outgoing, friendly personality and love to meet new people from San Francisco, the Bay Area, around the country and around the world.  While you like to have fun, you understand high quality service and how to solve problems on your own.  You are reliable, responsible and most importantly, you are on time. And of course, you are super geeky and/or want to learn more about cocktails.</p>
<p>This job is perfect for someone who has another flexible job looking for a fun way to make some extra money: a liquor sales representative, bartender, freelancer, a food or drinks blogger or an aspiring actor.</p>
<p>Perks of the job: You can go out to eat and drink guilt-free. Just call it “research.” We do! And also, meeting people from all over the world and inside connections in the bar and food world.</p>
<p>We are looking for people to lead Cocktail Tours Wednesdays from 7-9pm, Fridays from 4-6pm and Saturdays from 4-6pm. Not all tour times must be led by one guide. We also offer tours on other weekdays and weekends, daytimes and evenings. We are hiring two tour guides.</p>
<p>This is an employee position.  We pay $50 per Cocktail Tour (approx. $20 per hour) PLUS tips from tour guests (which range from $0-$150 cash per tour.)  Tours typically last 2 hours.</p>
<p>TO APPLY<br />
We want to see your personality and creativity in action.  Please create a 2-minute video giving us a tour of your liquor cabinet. This short video can be shot with an iphone or android and does not need to be professional.  We are not looking for a fully edited Martin Scorsese film, we just want to see you and your personality in action.  Then email us at info@avitaltours.com with the subject line “My Liquor Cabinet:______________” (fill in the blank) to submit your video to us.  ALSO, please include your resume attached in the email. If you do not follow the directions above, we will not consider your application.</p>
<p>We are looking to hire 2 tour guides. We will contact you if you’re right for this position. No phone calls, please.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Title: Assistant Chef</p>
<p>Reports to: Chef</p>
<p>Compensation: Full time, exempt and at will; Salaried with health/dental benefits; Housing included</p>
<p>Start Date: Start date is flexible, as soon as possible is ideal!</p>
<p>To Apply: Interested candidates should submit a cover letter, resume and list of 3 references with current contact information to chef@headlands.org with the subject line: Assistant Chef/your name.</p>
<p>** Position is open until filled. Due to the volume of applicants, only candidates who will be invited to interview will be contacted.</p>
<p>Headlands Center for the Arts is seeking a live-in Assistant Chef. Located in Marin County, where locally-sourced food thrives, Headlands Center for the Arts has the fortune of using local Northern California seafood, produce, meats and wine. The workplace is a bright, rustic artist-designed kitchen with an herb garden and a wood fired oven. The kitchen&#8217;s main patrons are notable artists from around the world who work in a wide variety of creative disciplines. The open kitchen at Headlands enables a casual, friendly environment in which interaction with artists, staff and the visiting public is encouraged. The kitchen was designed to support made-from-scratch cooking and baking and is a key component of Headlands highly reputable food program. Meals (prepared five nights a week) vary from small private dinners (ranging from 15 – 30 guests) to large public events including family style dinners, cafes and thematic food-related programs with many cuisine and presentation styles. </p>
<p>Compensation: This is a full time position that includes a private room in a shared house, work-day meals and a salary, which is based on experience and performance. Because the Assistant Chef shares housing with up to three artists, the right candidate will be flexible, considerate, responsible and respectful of others’ needs. Due to our Marin Headlands location, a car is very beneficial. </p>
<p>Job Responsibilities: The Assistant Chef is involved in all aspects of Headlands Kitchen Program and works very closely with the chef. Specific duties include: prepping, cooking, dishes, inventory, laundry, breakdown and clean up, intern and volunteer training, ongoing maintenance of the kitchen, and other tasks as needed in order to successfully serve meals for the artists and visiting public. </p>
<p>Qualifications: The right candidate should have prior professional cooking and/or pastry experience, an interest in cooking with local/organic/seasonal ingredients, a willingness to learn and a positive attitude. This is an open kitchen and people visit the building frequently, so the ability to deal with the public in a friendly manner is important.</p>
<p>The start date is flexible. Due to the live-in nature of the position, the ideal candidate will have a fitting temperament for not only working in the kitchen, but also for shared living accommodations.</p>
<p>About Headlands Center for the Arts: Headlands Center for the Arts is non-profit organization located in a historic former military fort in the coastal wilderness of the Marin Headlands in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, 15 minutes north of San Francisco. Established in 1982, Headlands promotes artistic exploration and development of new creative work. We offer artists encouragement and opportunities for reflective thought, dialogue and collaboration with others. Through residencies and public programs, including lectures and performances, we seek to explore and interpret the relationship between place and the creative process and to extend appreciation for the role of artists in society. Residencies bring artists from many different disciplines, cultural backgrounds and nationalities to live and work on site each year, while public programs engage artists, scholars, activists and other professionals. Please visit our website, http://www.headlands.org, for more information.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wanted: Experienced server who is not burned out on the hospitality business.</p>
<p>Do you still take joy in serving your guest?  Do you know when to up sell the wine and when to leave a table in peace?  Do you enjoy working in a fast pace multi-turn environment where the restaurant caters to a wide variety of clientele?</p>
<p>We are looking for one or two new front of house team members to join our staff.  We have 3 to 4 regular shifts available and are looking for someone who will fit in with our crew.  You must have weekday lunch and dinner availability as well as weekend availability and understand that you will be working most major holidays.  We close for Christmas, but are open for the rest.  This is your chance to hit the town running, depending on your skills/experience/learning curve you could be on the floor and earning tips in the next couple days.  No long training period if you show the skills.   </p>
<p>We are a family owned restaurant, 3 brothers and our Chef (brother from another mother) owner/operators on site and working alongside you every night.You must be ready to work hard / play hard and have a positive attitude about food, beer, cocktails,  wine and the restaurant industry as a profession.  We work our floor as a team; you have a section but are responsible for every table in the place.  So if you need a back waiter, a wine steward, three bussers and a maître d and only want to wait on 3 tables at a time, we are not the place for you.   At the same time we want you to spend time with your tables and make sure they have a great experience. </p>
<p>You need to learn our food, I’d recommending checking out the menu before you even come in for an interview and while you are at it, familiarize yourself with the wine list.  We use DINEAWARE but any POS skills will work.  Pairing cocktails and wine with our signature dishes is the key to your success.<br />
We are open for lunch five days a week and dinner seven days  a week.  This means food from 11:30 am &#8211; 2am on the week days and 5pm &#8211; 2am on the weekends.  We serve late, you never get to say “the kitchen is closing” unless it is 1:55 am. </p>
<p>Send us your resume and we will take it from there.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Popular San Francisco restaurant is seeking an Executive Chef to take over the reigns by the end of June. We use the highest quality ingredients available to create California cuisine in the same vein as Frances, Rich Table, Zuni, Range. </p>
<p>Our current chef, who&#8217;s been with us for over 3 years, is moving to the east coast with his girlfriend who starts graduate school in the summer.  He&#8217;ll be here to bring a new chef up to speed and share the recipes of our existing menu and signature dishes. Ultimately, you will be responsible for creating your own dishes that fit your style and strengths. Your talent will dictate the direction of the menu. </p>
<p>This is a great opportunity for the right candidate. We&#8217;ve had a continuous stream of stellar press, praise &amp; reviews since we&#8217;ve opened. We have a large kitchen, great staff and amazing space. This is an unpretentious neighborhood restaurant with upscale cuisine in a comfortable environment. We&#8217;ll be working closely with our PR company once the transition has been made to bring the right amount of press &amp; exposure to the changes. That said, press is no substitution for great food! You must bring passion, creativity, technique, consistency &amp; leadership to the position. </p>
<p>– Must have held the position of Executive Chef, Chef de Cuisine or Executive Sous Chef for a minimum of 1-2 years. </p>
<p>– Must be computer literate and savvy at managing food costs, labor costs &amp; inventory. </p>
<p>– We have assembled a great team, but you will be responsible for evaluating and managing your own kitchen staff. </p>
<p>– Must be familiar and committed to sustainable practices and seasonal produce. </p>
<p>Salaried position with health benefits, accrued vacation &amp; profit sharing after 90 days. Partnership opportunities will be available in the future.</p>
