## About Chateau Retirement

At Chateau Retirement, our kitchen is a real kitchen — and we take pride in it. We serve scratch-made, restaurant-quality meals to our residents three times a day, every day. We’re looking for a skilled Cook who loves the craft of cooking, takes ownership of their station, and wants to bring their talent somewhere it truly makes a difference. If you’ve got the skills of a restaurant cook but you’re ready for a better quality of life outside the kitchen, this is your place.

## Same Skills. Better Life. Here’s Why Cooks Choose Us Over Restaurants

You’ve put in the time in restaurant kitchens. You know the craft. Here’s what’s different at Chateau Retirement

| **Hours** | Late nights, split shifts, bar close | **Day & evening shifts, no late nights** |
| **Schedule Flexibility** | Last-minute call-ins, unpredictable | **Flexible scheduling, set windows** |
| **Weekends & Holidays** | Every holiday, every weekend | **Rotating schedule, fair time off** |
| **Work Environment** | High-pressure rush, chaotic pace | **Steady-paced, organized service** |
| **Job Stability** | Seasonal slowdowns, closures | **Year-round, consistent demand** |
| **Health Insurance** | Often unavailable or unaffordable | **Medical, dental & vision offered, HSA** |
| **Retirement Benefits** | Rarely offered | **401(k) with employer contribution** |
| **Sense of Purpose** | Strangers every night | **Familiar faces, real relationships** |
