If you're looking to work hard, stay busy, and finish the season with a healthy paycheck, this is an incredible opportunity.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a confident, experienced server who can help lead our dinner service and deliver exceptional hospitality.

You should have:

• At least 2 years of restaurant serving experience

• A friendly, professional personality

• A strong work ethic and sense of urgency

• The ability to stay organized and calm during service

• A positive, team-first attitude

We'll teach you our style of service, but we're looking for someone who already understands the fundamentals of great restaurant hospitality.

The Ideal Candidate

This position is best suited for someone who enjoys taking ownership of their work. We'll train you on how we do things at Elk Lake Lodge, but once you're comfortable, we're looking for someone who can work independently, stay one step ahead, and jump in wherever they're needed.

Our best team members are self-starters. They notice what needs to be done without waiting to be asked, communicate well with their teammates, and take pride in creating an exceptional guest experience.

If you're the kind of person who likes to stay busy, learns quickly, and doesn't need someone looking over your shoulder every step of the way, you'll fit in well here.

The Position

Our dinner service is elegant yet relaxed. We offer one seating at 6:00 PM, serving a thoughtfully prepared three-course dinner featuring:

• Soup or salad

• One meat entrée

• One fish entrée

• One vegetarian entrée

Guests order their entrée in advance, allowing our team to focus on providing attentive, polished service rather than rushing between tables.

Responsibilities include:

• Leading the dining room during dinner service

• Greeting guests and ensuring an exceptional dining experience

• Dining room setup and cleanup

• Inventory and stocking

• Dishwashing and general kitchen support

• Occasional breakfast shifts

This position includes split shifts, but the primary focus is dinner service.

Requirements

• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation

• Available to work 40+ hours per week

• Available immediately through October 16

About Elk Lake Lodge

Nestled within a 12,000-acre private wilderness preserve in New York's Adirondack Mountains, Elk Lake Lodge is unlike a typical restaurant job. Our guests come here to disconnect, hike mountain trails, paddle pristine lakes, and enjoy genuine Adirondack hospitality.

Because we're located in a remote wilderness setting, there simply isn't a large local workforce to draw from. That's why we provide housing and actively recruit talented hospitality professionals from around the country who are looking for a rewarding seasonal opportunity.

If you're ready to work hard, earn great money, and spend the rest of the season in one of the most beautiful places in the Northeast, we'd love to hear from you.
