Experienced cooks, we need your help. Covenant Living is an upscale retirement community here in Grand Rapids. This is not an institutional food program. Here we are scratch cooking with a la carte meal services. There are regular catering events ranging from small hors d’oeuvre functions to facility wide plated dinners and buffets like what you will see in any restaurant, banquet hall or country club. You won’t, however, work restaurant hours. Our staff is out by 7:30pm or earlier most days of the week and no one is here past 3pm on any Sunday. Come check us out.
Starting wage: $18/hour
