Chef & Lodge Coordinator Needed - Syringa, ID

We are seeking a Chef (from late April to early Oct) as well as a Lodge Coordinator (from late April to late Sept), either as a couple, or individually.

Chef: Imagine a summer spent on the Clearwater River of central Idaho where you are the creative energy of our kitchen! Our family-run resort is looking for an honest, energetic chef to cook at our log cabin resort located 90 miles east of Lewiston, Idaho and 120 miles west of Missoula, Montana. This is a full time position from about April 20 to mid-October. If you are creative and know how to prepare healthy northwest regional cuisine you should apply.

We serve lunch and dinner for cabin guests and the general public.  We also serve a continental breakfast buffet to cabin guests (only) and prepare lunches to go for our rafting trips and other outdoor adventures. Our kitchen staff is small - you and another full time cook. 

We do not appreciate chefs with big egos and tempers. We love chefs that create delicious food, respect the entire staff and our strong team players. Every year our menus are updated based on the skills of the chef we hire.

Lodge Coordinator: This position involves helping the general manager with a variety of duties including housekeeping, serving in our dining room, simple cooking, checking in guests and attending to their needs and being an all-around smiling host! If you have positive energy and enjoy hard work in a beautiful setting, we want to hear from you. 

Previous experience in the hospitality business, including both Housekeeping and Restaurant. Some cooking experience is a plus. Strong communication skills required. Strong computer skills and experience operating a reservation management system and a POS system are also required. Must have a professional attitude and be willing to learn and accept new ideas. Initiative is highly valued.  The position requires someone who smiles easily and will provide superlative guest service.

Our Lodge features 8 log cabins, 3 glamping tents, campgrounds, onsite restaurant guided outdoor activities.  It’s an ideal place if you want to go biking, hiking, fishing, tubing and more.  Free raft trips provided as an extra perk as well as use of outdoor equipment.

We are a small staff of 7-8 and are a family-run, socially responsible business.  Our location is wilderness and not good for night life and parties.  Both positions call for talent, experience, motivation and strong team players.  Compensation includes salary, plus room and board. 

Please note that we provide same sex bunkhouse style accommodations for individuals and that a nearby rental cabins is available to couples, but is not included in the job offer.
