About this role
At The Ritz-Carlton's Nayarit property, a Cook II role centers on the hands-on preparation and cooking of food to the brand's exacting standards. You'll handle everything from prepping ingredients—portioning, chopping, and storing—through to cooking and plating, working with standard kitchen equipment including ovens, stoves, grills, and fryers. The position requires close attention to quality, temperature control, and presentation, along with maintaining a clean and properly sanitized work station and kitchen area throughout your shift.
This is a full-time, in-office position suited to someone with at least one year of cooking or kitchen experience and a high school diploma or equivalent. The work is physically demanding: you'll be on your feet for extended periods, reaching and bending frequently, and regularly lifting items up to 25 pounds. Beyond technical cooking skills, the role emphasizes teamwork, clear communication, adherence to safety protocols, and the ability to follow recipes and quality standards consistently. If you're looking for hands-on kitchen work within a luxury hospitality setting, this Cook II position offers the chance to work at one of the industry's most recognized brands.
