We are looking for a lively and courteous café employee who believes that gracious and friendly customer service and good food should always go together.
You will greet customers, answer their questions about our menu and products, take orders and accept payments and provide table service.
You will also maintain a clean workspace and dining area, update displays (if you have a flair for chalkboards, we are excited), and be prepared to always improve your working knowledge of food and beverage quality controls, preparation, and presentation.
Kayak Fundy Café offers a menu of fresh and healthy food all prepared on site with as many local ingredients as possible. Most of our guests are kayakers and hikers (and locals) who wish to relax in a homey, natural environment – on the water and close to the gates of Fundy National Park.
To work with us you need to be committed to providing our guests with fresh, beautiful food, while offering friendly and polite service to our guests. Our guests are wonderful 99% of the time. The other 1% just proves the world isn’t perfect.
Special note: Staff also earn tips and will be provided free housing on-site throughout the term of employment.
