Chartwells at Hemlock Public Schools in Hemlock, MI is on the lookout for a motivated and detail-driven Director of Dining Services to lead our food service operations across four schools, serving approximately 1,250 students each day.

There's real potential to expand this area, making it a perfect opportunity for someone who enjoys building programs and bringing fresh ideas to the table in a supportive school community.
Key Responsibilities:
+ Lead, mentor, and inspire our team of up to 10 frontline associates.
+ Drive critical initiatives to enhance customer satisfaction and increase profitability.
