We've filled our 2025 Performance Chef roles but if you think you have the chops to join our team, we'd love to hear from you. Please send us your application and we'll let you know when a position opens.

You’re a fun, hardworking performance chef committed to delivering high-end customer experiences. You have strong communication skills and genuinely love people.

Time and time again, you resurrect our guests from the brink of implosion. Without your high-performance sustenance and daily dose of Vitamin TLC they would never complete our challenging week-long tours.

  • Independently devise and prepare on-the-road lunches and portable ride food
  • Uphold a clean workspace and strict hygiene standards
  • Grocery shop and maintain food supplies within an allocated budget

As a Performance Chef, you have:

  • A passion for food and sports nutrition
  • English fluency
  • A European home base
  • A valid driver’s license and clean driving record
  • Proficiency in driving a manual transmission vehicle
  • A fun, engaging and kind personality (introverted or extroverted)
  • Strong work ethic, professionalism and attention to detail
  • A curious and efficient solution-oriented mindset
  • A practice of extreme ownership

In an ideal world, you also have:

  • First-hand experience in the high-end hospitality and travel industry
  • Italian language skills
  • An Italian home base

This position is not for you if:

  • You’re unavailable on evenings and weekends
  • You’re looking for a long-term, permanent opportunity beyond the scope of this event-based position
  • You have no sense of humor
  • You have personal drama
  • You're not a team player

Specifics and what we offer:

  • This is an event-based position with opportunities to grow with the company
  • Competitive day rates based on industry experience
  • All work-related travel and lodging provided with paid travel days
  • Guest gratuities split evenly
  • Smart and fun colleagues who will make you laugh
