We are looking for amazing personalities and cooks at Mountain Standard Restaurant. Sweet Basil Inc is the owner and operator of both Sweet Basil and Mountain Standard Restaurants. Both restaurants are in the heart of Vail Village. Sweet Basil has a storied history and has been counted among Colorado’s best since 1977. This landmark restaurant is driven to provide a world-class dining experience rooted in exceptional hospitality. Sweet Basil’s cuisine is progressive, contemporary American, ingredient-driven, refined yet playful. Mountain Standard is based on the same drive for excellence but presented in a more casual, communal atmosphere. The food is focused on carefully sourced ingredients and wood-fired cooking methods. The open kitchen, open live fires, energetic vibe, and carefully curated taps and cocktails all contribute to the perfect modern mountain dining experience.
Mountain Standard is looking for a dynamic and passionate line cook to join our team. We really do offer a team first environment, that cares about the food we make and the guests we serve. Experience our wood fired cooking in a fun, fast paced environment. We offer the opportunity to live and play in an outdoor sports paradise, while still being able to cook at a “big city” level. The icing on the cake is that we have incredible wages and benefits, with plenty of room to grow, advance, and improve your skills. This is an amazing opportunity to work in one of the top kitchens (definitely the most popular) in the Vail Valley and to be a part of the next chapter in the legacy of Vail’s “hottest” restaurant. We focus on the ancient technique of live wood fired cooking and this element is the driving factor behind our food. The open kitchen allows us to have fun, interact with guests, and work in an exciting environment! We are searching for individuals that are dedicated, hard working, determined to succeed, and above all willing to learn. Our pay range is $20-$26+ depending on experience and skill level, and that now includes tips! We also offer the following benefits: free ski pass program, paid vacation (after one year), medical insurance contribution, uniforms provided, dining discounts of 50% off in our restaurants, and more!!! In order to make your transition as seamless as possible, we have EMPLOYEE HOUSING available on a first come, first serve basis. If you are interested in being a part of our team, then please send over your resume and a brief introduction. I hope to meet you soon!!

This is just a sample of the basic kitchen operations, there are many other layers that will be clearly defined during training.
We feel that this is truly a place where you can learn and progress. We offer internal promotions whenever possible and foster an environment of professionalism and teamwork. We also present some amazing benefits to help you find that elusive work/life balance. We believe in working hard and playing hard too!! We offer a FREE ski pass to all our kitchen employees, dining discounts, health insurance contribution after 1 yr, paid vacation after 1 year, uniforms, family meals, and more!!
Compensation will be determined based on experience and skillset, but our kitchen is now included in our TIP POOL!! Cook wages are a combination of an hourly wage and tips….and I promise you, we pay better than most!!!
