Come be part of the history...in the Birthplace of Montana, Fort Benton. Where History meets Hospitality! Located on the banks of the Missouri River in Central Montana...a charming, "real Montana" town! Enjoy a slower Spring and a fast-paced Summer in the oldest operating hotel in Montana! 

We are seeking a Bartender-Server to onboard now while we are short-handed in our slower shoulder season, then stay on for the Summer/Fall! 

We need experienced professionals who can step right in and assume positions. This position makes fine money for the low season, and great money for the high season. Our season runs June 1 through end of October! If you have FOH management experience, a higher position with year-round employment may be a possibility, as we look to grow and expand our operation. This position is as stated; you will be expected to do some Serving on the floor here and there to be part of a team that pitches in where needed, so please be comfortable doing so. Sorry, we are not equipped for international applicants at this time. 

We have a private room/bathroom for you, available in a shared house, just down the street from our property. Depending on position and situation, we also have a separate 1 bedroom/1 bath for higher end positions and/or a couple looking to fill positions. 

We are the oldest operating hotel in Montana at 143 years old! We have 26 rooms & a 50 seat fine-dining restaurant that expands to a patio in the Summer. Guests from all over the World visit us, exploring Lewis & Clark and the National White Cliff Monument. We have 3 outfitters here that take guests on overnight river trips.  The owners are 4 years in, and native Montanans with a passion for hospitality! We are located in Central Montana along the banks of the Missouri River; "Big Sky Country" was named for this area...with huge vistas surrounded by several mountain ranges nearby. Great Falls is 40 miles away. We’re right between Glacier and Yellowstone (3-4 hours), making it easy to get out and explore on your days off! A car isn't mandatory as the town is very walkable and has a good grocery store, pharmacy, coffee shops, etc...but, a car will definitely help you get out to explore the area.
