Website Silver Hotel Group

Job Summary

The Evening Cook at Aloft Montreal Airport is a high-energy “Culinary & Social” role within the Silver Hotel Group portfolio. Located in Montreal West near the international airport, this position requires the “wit” to master modern, gourmet grab-and-go and bistro-style menus and the “grit” to thrive in a fast-paced, “anything-but-ordinary” kitchen. This full-time role is perfect for a creative cook who wants to amplify their career in a vibrant, trendy environment where “staying in style” applies to the staff as much as the guests.


Job Details

  • Employer: Aloft Montreal Airport (Silver Hotel Group).

  • Location: Montreal West/Dorval, QC (Near YUL Airport).

  • Status: Full-time.

  • Schedule: Focus on evenings, weekends, and holidays; must be flexible.

  • Reporting To: Executive Chef or designate.


Key Responsibilities: The “Aloft Flavor” Cycle

You are the engine of the evening food experience, ensuring every plate matches the hotel’s upbeat and modern brand identity.

  • Precision Preparation: Wash, peel, chop, and portion fresh ingredients; weigh and mix components according to exact hotel recipes and standards.

  • Service Readiness: Ensure the proper setup of menu items (mis-en-place) for the evening rush, including hot and cold foods, banqueting, and bar snacks.

  • Quality Control: Adhere to strict guidelines for seasoning, portioning, and appearance to ensure every “foodie find” is Instagram-ready.

  • Waste Management: Store unused food properly to minimize waste and maximize quality, contributing to the kitchen’s financial and environmental health.

  • Operational Coordination: Work closely with the Bar and Front-of-House teams to ensure a smooth flow between the kitchen and the social “connection hubs” of the hotel.

  • Sanitation Excellence: Maintain the highest levels of Health & Safety and sanitation practices at all times.


Candidate Profile & Qualifications

  • The “Creative Connector”: A team member who is inclusive, inspiring, and comfortable engaging with everyone from the prep line to the guests.

  • Culinary Wit: A strong commitment to detail and accuracy, with a high level of passion for food presentation and local flavors.

  • Operational Grit: The ability to multi-task and work under pressure in a high-speed airport hotel environment.

  • Professional Presence: Excellent communication skills, a positive attitude, and a professional appearance.

  • Requirements: Basic knowledge of food hygiene and availability for flexible evening and weekend shifts.


Technical Insights: The Aloft Kitchen Ecosystem

Working at Aloft means balancing high-volume airport transit needs with “Boutique” culinary standards.

  • Gourmet Grab-and-Go: You will manage a selection of upscale, portable items designed for travelers on the move, requiring efficiency without sacrificing quality.

  • Bistro & Bar Plates: The evening shift focuses heavily on “sip and snack” culture—small plates and craft-cocktail pairings that drive the social energy of the lounge.

  • Plug-and-Play Operations: Just as the rooms are tech-forward, the kitchen relies on organized checklists and standardized preparation cycles to handle sudden “pushes” from late-arriving flight crews or delayed travelers.

Job Description

Do you believe that the best meals are served with a side of great music and vibrant energy? Aloft Montreal Airport is seeking an Evening Cook. We aren’t looking for a “line worker”; we are looking for a culinary talent who has the “grit” to handle a busy evening service and the “wit” to bring local Montreal flavor to every plate. If you want to work in a space that is chic, social, and anything-but-ordinary, you belong here.

In this role, you are a “Vibe Architect.” You understand that a meal is often the first or last impression a traveler has of Montreal. Your goal is to provide “Excellence in Modern Gastronomy,” ensuring every recipe is followed and every presentation is inspired. We look for “Passionate-first” individuals who are inclusive, creative, and ready to cue up their next big career move.

Joining the Silver Hotel Group means joining a family that values your independence and dignity. We offer a barrier-free, supportive environment where “Diversity and Fun” are the roadmap. If you are a cook with a commitment to “Style and Quality,” we invite you to step inside and join the Aloft team today.
