Job Overview
This is a part-time job starting around 10+ hours per week. Mostly weekend shifts, with the occasional evening weekday shift. Additional hours will likely be available in the summer. Good position for a student.

You must be ready and able to follow the posted instructions and cook to order from day one, with supervision and guidance for the first few shifts while you're learning.

Pay starts at $17 an hour plus equally shared gratuities between FOH and BOH. We also have a comprehensive benefits package including drug coverage, dental, life insurance, massage therapy, physiotherapy, mental health counselling, and more.

NOTE: Must be available weekends. Shifts may run later some days, or extra coverage may be needed. All staff are expected to help the team by covering sick days or vacation days for each other when needed.
