About

Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my interest in the Chef de Cuisine position at the hotel. With more than 14 years of international culinary experience across luxury hospitality environments in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Seychelles, and India, I bring strong expertise in culinary leadership, kitchen operations, and pre-opening environments. Throughout my career, I have worked across luxury hotels, fine dining, all-day dining, seafood restaurants, banquets, VIP catering, and large-scale hospitality events. My culinary expertise includes modern Indian, Western, seafood, Josper Grill, Arabic, and Tandoori cuisines, with a strong focus on consistency, presentation, quality, and guest satisfaction. In my current role as Sous Chef – Pre-Opening Team at The Red Sea EDITION, Marriott International, Saudi Arabia, I lead seafood restaurant hot kitchen operations, supervise culinary teams, and support menu execution, SOP implementation, food safety, inventory, and food-cost standards. My previous experience with Marriott Bonvoy properties in NEOM, The Chedi Katara, Constance Lemuria, Hilton Salwa Beach Resort, and The Ritz-Carlton has further developed my ability to deliver within demanding luxury hospitality environments. I combine hands-on culinary leadership with disciplined kitchen operations, including menu development, recipe standardization, procurement, inventory control, food-cost optimization, HACCP compliance, team training, banquet production, and pre-opening operations. I have also supported VIP events and high-volume hospitality operations where timing, consistency, and attention to detail are essential. I am eager to contribute my international culinary experience and leadership capabilities and help maintain the high culinary and operational standards expected from a premium hospitality property. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience can contribute to your culinary team and overall guest experience. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you. Sincerely, SURAT RANA Senior Culinary Professional | Senior Sous Chef +966 502510910 | [email protected]
