Bon Appetit

Salary: $120,000 - $130,000 / year

Our Passion is Food!

At Bon Appetit Management Company we are committed to two things: great food and outstanding service!

We have no standard recipes or central commissaries; instead, our chefs and managers stay abreast of current culinary trends and bring cutting edge food into their cafes.

We are committed to our staff growing, trying new things, and learning all that they can. Our rapid growth and breadth of accounts translates into exciting opportunities for our people!
