Seasonal Cook II

The iconic Hotel del Coronado is looking for a Seasonal Cook II to join the Veranda team! Join one of the last surviving wooden Victorian beach resorts in the world and after a $400M renovation and expansion, the resort is more stunning than ever.

Located on Coronado Island just minutes from Downtown San Diego, this 28-acre property was built in 1888 and has over 750 rooms, cottages, and villas with 65,000 square feet of banquet space, and 10 food and beverage outlets. This includes 4 restaurants, 2 bars, a food truck, marketplace, ice cream shop, and in-room dining.

The quintessential al fresco dining experience with spectacular ocean views, Veranda is a journey of familiarity rediscovered. The menu of exceptionally prepared America Favorites is inspired by The Del's Southern California roots, elevating clean, fresh flavors and regional produce while classic cocktails and a California-forward wine list provide the finishing touch.

In the spirit of the hotel's original wraparound veranda where guests strolled, mingles, and lounged to take in the sea air, Veranda invites you to gather with family and friends and enjoy decision food, rich conversation, and a remarkable oceanside setting. All the ingredients of an exceptional dining experience are delivered with effortless charm and authenticity.
