About this role
At The Ritz-Carlton's Kochi property, this role sits at the operational center of kitchen and food service excellence. You would oversee stewarding teams across multiple outlets—kitchens, restaurants, room service, banqueting, and lounges—ensuring they meet the hotel's rigorous standards for sanitation, food safety, and efficiency. Your day involves inspecting staff appearance and work areas, managing opening and closing procedures, conducting inventories, monitoring FIFO compliance, and coordinating with the Chief Steward to maintain "heart of the house" operations that directly support the guest experience.
The position demands hands-on leadership: you'll hire, train, schedule, and mentor staff while serving as their first point of contact for concerns. You'll also handle the physical demands of the role—standing for entire shifts, lifting up to 50 pounds, moving through kitchen spaces, and performing detailed inspections. Paperwork, maintenance coordination, and shift handovers round out the operational side.
This role suits someone with at least two years of stewarding or kitchen operations experience and at least one year in a supervisory capacity. Food Safety certification is preferred. You should be comfortable with both the detail-oriented inspection work and the people management aspects, able to communicate clearly across teams and maintain the professional standards expected at a luxury property.
