Restaurant & Catering Chef

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes intro about company and role. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate (EEO, drug-free, etc). Also remove application instructions (none). We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to parse content: Intro: "Come join the Tillamook Team..." This is about company and role. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the team". We'll put "About the role" heading and include that paragraph. Then responsibilities: The "What you will do:" section and subsequent bullet-like paragraphs. We'll put under

Responsibilities

with

• items. Then Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: includes education, experience, etc. Could be split into Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The posting says: "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:" then bullet list. We can treat that as Skills section. Also maybe Requirements: high school diploma or GED required, some post-secondary culinary or restaurant management training preferred, 1+ years experience required, etc. Qualifications: maybe similar. But we should not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we have to follow headings list; we can include only those with content. We could have "Requirements" for mandatory items, "Skills" for abilities, maybe "Qualifications" for preferred? However we need to avoid filler. Let's decide: - About the role: intro paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties. - Requirements: mandatory items (high school diploma or GED required; 1+ years kitchen/restaurant/food service or manufacturing experience required; food preparation, grill work, and catering experience required; demonstrated ability to develop menus; ability to prioritize and manage time; ability to read/write/interpret reports). Also maybe supervisor/management experience? That's preferred, not required. - Qualifications: preferred items (some post-secondary culinary or restaurant management training preferred; catering and high-volume food service experience preferred; 3 years of supervisor or management experience preferred). - Skills: maybe the demonstrated abilities (menu development, etc) but those already in requirements. Could combine. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have only About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including both required and preferred), and Skills (maybe not needed). However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into a single "Requirements" section that includes both required and preferred, labeling them. Or we could have "Requirements" for required, "Qualifications" for preferred, and skip Skills if redundant. We also need Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. The posting mentions "Industry leading benefit and reward programs: We offer outstanding benefits to our employees. For more information, please visit the careers page: ." That's vague, no specifics. It says "Industry leading benefit and reward programs" but no detail. According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does not give specific benefits details, just a generic statement. That might be considered filler/placeholder? It says "We offer outstanding benefits to our employees. For more information, please visit the careers page:" That's not specific. Likely we should omit Benefits section. Similarly Pay and Schedule not mentioned. Thus we output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. About the role: The introductory paragraph(s) before "What you will do:" includes company description and role context. Let's capture: "Come join the Tillamook Team, one of the fastest-growing dairy brands in the US, where we Play to Win to create over 200 dairy products in 7 different categories: cheese, ice cream, yogurt, sour cream, butter, cream cheese and frozen meals. Our Uncompromising Quality has led us to become the #1 Cheddar, #2 Cream Cheese and #3 Family Size Ice Cream brand, but we’re not stopping there. We’re loading up for our best years to come and want you to join us. As a farmer-owned cooperative since 1909, we know that being Good Stewards for our stakeholders and doing a little extra always pays off. We’re looking for team members with a One Team and Genuine Care mindset who are inspired to share the delight of the Tillamook brand with each other and others every day." Then maybe also the sentence: "As a cornerstone of the Tillamook brand experience, this role ensures culinary excellence across the restaurant and all catering events, elevating the Creamery's iconic identity through every guest interaction." That's part of responsibilities but could be in About the role. However it's describing role. We'll keep it in About the role maybe. But we need to not duplicate. We'll put the introductory company description and the role overview in About the role. Responsibilities: list each duty as
• . We need to capture all duties from "What you will do:" through the long paragraph until "Other duties as needed and assigned." Let's extract bullet-like sentences: - Direct and oversee the daily operations of all Tillamook Creamery kitchens, working the line as needed to support, observe, and direct staff during service. - Lead menu development and deployment for restaurant and catering — including seasonal menus, VIP/large-group custom options, costing, allergy guides, recipe cards, and prep sheets — in partnership with the TCCA Corporate Executive Chef. - Ensure all menus are approved prior to deployment and remain brand-elevating, profitable, and operationally viable. - In partnership with Food Service Managers, recruit, hire, onboard, train, develop, coach, and retain kitchen staff. - Deliver training on culinary standards, catering menu execution, guest service expectations, SOPs, and system updates. - Provide regular recognition, feedback, and performance evaluations. - Manage scheduling and payroll for all direct reports (15–19 positions, including permanent and seasonal hires). - Standardize and enforce production recipes and presentation specifications to ensure consistent quality on every dish. - Approve all food items leaving the kitchen and resolve any service or quality issues promptly. - Maintain ownership of kitchen financial results: managing food costs, budgetary guidelines, and cost-control measures using a thorough understanding of costing formulas and yield percentages. - Oversee product ordering, inventory management (FIFO, organized storage, receiving accuracy), and kitchen expense tracking. - Maintain expertise in Toast Inventory, COGS, recipe management, and POS systems — including button creation, recipe builds, inventory controls, and price updates. - Serve as the primary point of contact for food and supply vendors. - Build and maintain professional, value-aligned vendor relationships to ensure quality products, reliable service, and timely deliveries. - Regularly review product quality, pricing, and vendor performance to support cost efficiency and operational improvement. - Ensure all food, facilities, and equipment meet governmental regulations and Health Department sanitation requirements. - Maintain accurate temperature, maintenance, and sanitation logs. - Enforce all SOPs, including OSHA/Safety documentation, OLCC permits, Food Handler permits, and equipment usage certifications. - Ensure the culinary program and guest experience are consistently aligned with Tillamook brand standards, as approved by the Executive Chef of Culinary Development and the Creamery General Manager. - Support order-throttling and operational system adjustments through the designated App as needed to optimize ticket times and back-of-house efficiency. - Apply financial acumen to maintain ownership of business results; implement strategies to maximize performance, track progress against goals, and keep stakeholders informed with data-driven recommendations. - Build professional, respectful working relationships across TCCA departments (People & Culture, Finance, Site Maintenance, and other Creamery teams). - Leading through TCCA values to foster a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for employees, guests, and vendors. - Oversee recruiting, onboarding support (uniforms, orientation, property tours, 7Shifts, and UKG setup), attendance records, and documentation of policy violations in partnership with L&D and P&C teams. - Confront and resolve difficult situations proactively and professionally. - Efficiently manage and utilize resources, exercising independent judgment and critical thinking to bring well-considered solutions to leadership. - Other duties as needed and assigned. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "Other duties as needed and assigned." That's substantive enough? It's a generic phrase but it's part of posting. It's okay. Now Requirements: mandatory items: - High school diploma or GED required - Some post-secondary culinary or restaurant management training preferred (that's preferred, not required) -> maybe put in Qualifications. - 1+ years’ kitchen/restaurant/food service or manufacturing experience required - Catering and high-volume food service experience preferred (preferred) - 3 years of supervisor or management experience preferred (preferred) - Food preparation, grill work, and catering experience required - Demonstrated ability to effectively develop menus – including costing, allergy guides, and training manuals. - Demonstrated ability to effectively prioritize and manage time. - Possess the ability to read, write, and interpret reports. We could separate required vs preferred. Let's put Requirements for required items: high school diploma/GED, 1+ years experience, food preparation/grill work/catering experience, ability to develop menus, ability to prioritize/manage time, ability to read/write/interpret reports. Qualifications for preferred items: some post-secondary culinary or restaurant management training preferred, catering and high-volume food service experience preferred, 3 years of supervisor or management experience preferred. Skills: maybe we could include the demonstrated abilities again but they'd duplicate. Could combine Skills with Requirements? But we need to follow headings list; we can omit Skills if not needed. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

  headings and

  or

  • . Ensure no extra text outside. Let's craft. About the role: combine paragraphs into one

    maybe multiple

    s? The rule: use

    for prose. Could have multiple

    elements. We'll put the company description and role overview in one or two

    s. We'll include:
