Current Openings

Vendador frequently welcomes the application of Court-Certified Sommeliers interested in private dining work. From pairing wines directly from clients’ cellars to planning personalized cuveé pairings for one-off 10 course tasting menus, highly skilled and passionate sommeliers may email their interest and resume directly to Chef Francis: chefs@vendador.com

We are now hiring a disciplined Sous Chef to join our team on a flexible start date. As a critical member of the culinary team, a successful Sous Chef will prioritize positivity, passion, and flexibility. You will also have previous experience working in a collaborative and food forward environment, and will support the Executive Chef as needed. All applicants must have previous experience in fine dining or Michelin kitchens. Please email Chef Francis your interest and resume directly: chefs@vendador.com

Vendador welcomes new beverage professionals to lead our service team. All servers at Vendador must be skilled in cocktail making, ideally with Court-Certified wine knowledge, and be charismatic about serving food. Priority will be given to candidates with fine dining and Michelin restaurant experience. All beverage leads are required to have up to date BASSET Certifications and Food Handlers. Please email our Front of House Manager at hospitality@vendador.com to apply directly with your resume and letter of interest.

We are always open to applications from disciplined prep cooks with fine dining experience. If you currently work nights at a restaurant, we regularly can find ways to fold qualified chefs into our weekly prep schedule. Please email Chef Francis your interest directly: chefs@vendador.com

Our events run on meticulous preparation and a spotless kitchen. We welcome dependable candidates for event prep and steward work, supporting our chefs before, during, and after service. Reliability and a professional appearance matter as much as a fine dining resume here. Please email your interest to hospitality@vendador.com

This is for the culinary student who wants to learn private chef work from the inside. Not restaurant work. Not catering. Private dining in the homes of high-net-worth clients, where the kitchen and menu changes every night, the guests are five feet away, and the entire experience runs on preparation, timing, and how you carry yourself in the room. Professional appearance and social confidence are required for this highly-visible culinary internship. If you are looking to learn what it takes to run a private chef operation, this is a rare seat. It is a competitive position, and applications are accepted on a rolling basis for the next season, Winter 2027. Learn more and review application instructions here
