On-siteManagement$60k–$68k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes Position Overview, Key Responsibilities (with subheadings), Physical Requirements, Qualifications & Experience, Pay (salary range). Also maybe Benefits? Not present. Schedule? Not explicit but mentions workweeks 46-48 hours, flexible schedule, nights, weekends, holidays. That's schedule info. Should we include Schedule section? The rule: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. The posting mentions workweeks expected to be between 46 and 48 hours with ability to have flexible schedule, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Regular and predictable attendance with flexibility to adjust class assignments based on demand, ensuring 6-8 classes are taught per week. That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with that content. Benefits not mentioned, so omit. Pay: salary range given: $60,405 - $68,117 a year. So include Pay section. We need headings:

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to preserve all substantive information. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. So we need to strip out all the equal opportunity, AI tools, Washington state applicants, Massachusetts lie-detector, accommodations, etc. Also remove the repeated AI tools paragraph. Also remove the "This job description represents a summary..." etc? That's boilerplate but maybe considered generic; but it's part of job description. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "This job description represents a summary..." is not exactly legal but it's a disclaimer; might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it? It's not EEO but it's a generic disclaimer. The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. That includes disclaimer about job description not being exhaustive, etc. So we should remove that paragraph. Also remove the "Sur La Table has the exclusive right..." etc. Also remove the CSC family equal employment opportunities paragraph, AI tools, Washington state, Massachusetts, accommodations, repeated AI tools, etc. We need to keep: Position Overview (the paragraph about role), Key Responsibilities (with subheadings Leadership & Team Development, Customer Experience & Brand Representation, Sales & Business Performance, Operations & Compliance), Physical Requirements, Qualifications & Experience, Pay, Schedule. We need to format using

    for section headings. Subheadings inside responsibilities maybe also need to be headings? The instruction: use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid using other headings for subsections, but likely we should keep them as

    or maybe ? But to be safe, we can treat each major section as

    . Within Responsibilities we have sub-sections; we could keep them as

    or . The instruction didn't forbid other headings; just said use

    for section headings (list). It didn't say we cannot use other heading levels. We'll use

    for sub-sections inside Responsibilities. We need to use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for each bullet list we need to wrap in
      • . The responsibilities sections have bullet points (starting with Recruit, mentor... etc). We'll convert each bullet to
      • . Also the Physical Requirements list: each ability statement is a bullet; we should make
        • . Qualifications & Experience list: also bullet points. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract content. Position Overview: "As a Resident Chef at Sur La Table, you play a key role in the success of the store by leading high-performing culinary teams that inspire customers throughout every stage of their culinary experience. This position leads engaging cooking classes, fostering an enthusiastic and knowledgeable team and overseeing the success of the in-store culinary program. This role requires a blend of culinary talent, business acumen, and teaching skills to drive sales, enhance customer #bestincenter experience, a company-wide standard for excellence in service, and build a high-performing culinary team." We'll put that in a

          under maybe

          About the role

          or

          Position Overview

          . The instruction says use

          for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we can use About the role as heading. We'll put the overview paragraph there. Next Responsibilities: heading

          Responsibilities

          . Then sub-sections: Leadership & Team Development: we can use

          Leadership & Team Development

          then list. Bullet points: - Recruit, mentor and retain a high-performing team to meet the business needs of both culinary and retail. - Lead, coach, and inspire associates to exceed performance expectations and uphold a positive team culture. - Conduct regular performance evaluations, provide feedback, and create development plans to support individual and team growth.

Physical Requirements: heading

          Physical Requirements

          . Then list bullets. Bullets: - Ability to communicate verbally and work cooperatively with associates and customers. - Ability to remain standing for up to 5 hours at a time. - Ability to move about the store coaching and directing associates and/or class participants while selling to customers. - The capability to accurately perceive and differentiate variations in intensity or quality of flavors or odors, or to identify specific tastes or scents using the tongue or nose. - Ability to grab, reach, push, pull, bend, stoop, kneel, and crouch to retrieve and replenish merchandise from stockroom or sales floor. - Ability to use hands to seize, hold, grasp, turn, or otherwise to chop, whisk, slice, stir, juice and/or demonstrate other techniques. - Ability to lift and/or move merchandise weighing up to 50 lbs. - Ability to ascend/descend ladders to retrieve and/or move merchandise. - Ability to operate a computer, POS system, keyboards, merchandise scanners and mouse to accomplish work. - Workweeks are expected to be between 46 and 48 hours with the ability to have a flexible schedule, including nights, weekends, and holidays. - Regular and predictable attendance with the flexibility to adjust class assignments based on demand, ensuring 6-8 classes are taught per week. - Ability to work in a variable kitchen environment included but not limited to open flames, hot surfaces, temperature variations, various food allergens both physical and airborne. Wait, the last two bullets about workweeks and schedule maybe belong to Schedule section. But they are currently under Physical Requirements in the original text. However they are about schedule. The instruction says we should include Schedule section only if posting has real specific content. It does have schedule info. Should we separate them? The original placed them under Physical Requirements but they are schedule. We could keep them under Physical Requirements but maybe better to extract to Schedule section. However we must preserve all substantive information; moving them is fine as long as we keep the content. We'll create a Schedule section with those two bullets (or maybe more). Let's see: The schedule info includes: "Workweeks are expected to be between 46 and 48 hours with the ability to have a flexible schedule, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Regular and predictable attendance with the flexibility to adjust class assignments based on demand, ensuring 6-8 classes are taught per week." That's two sentences. We'll put them as
        • items. Thus Physical Requirements list will exclude those two schedule bullets. Now Qualifications & Experience: heading

          Qualifications & Experience

          . Bullets: - Must be 21 years of age or older at the time of employment. - Culinary degree strongly preferred. We will only consider equivalent experience in exceptional cases. - 1-2 years’ experience as a culinary instructor. - 3-4 years of progressively responsible kitchen management experience. - Valid Food Manager Certification. - Proven track record of achieving sales and motivating high performing sales teams while meeting operational goals. - Strong leadership skills with the ability to inspire, develop, and retain a high performing team. - Excellent communication, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities. - Passion for community engagement and providing exceptional customer experiences. - Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and retail systems preferred. Pay: heading

          Pay

          . Then a

          with "$60,405 - $68,117 a year". Schedule: heading

          Schedule

          . Then
          • for each bullet. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate. We removed all EEO etc. Check for duplicated lines: none. Now output HTML. We need to wrap each section appropriately. Let's craft:

            About the role
