The culture of Jack Sprat is like a family. We enjoy the work and value our time off (four day work week is standard). The staff likes to plan activities together on days off. Our progressive Tip Share includes the front and the back of the house equally which makes for great wages that are fairly distributed between all non-management players. Hourly plus tips averages $35 per hour. By appreciating everyone on the team, the result is a very positive attitude and team work throughout. There is room to learn new skills and play various roles if one desires and puts in the effort. We are looking for energetic people ideally with some experience, but if not, we can train you. If you are passionate about good food and service, you will find similar humans to work alongside. We have year-round and seasonal opportunities. Successful candidates will be team-oriented and thrive in an active setting.  Meals are discounted by 50%.

Our service is five nights of dinner per week and we are considered casual fine dining. Jack Sprat is focused on fresh, local ingredients, like foraged berries and mushrooms, with global influences like fresh pasta and Korean bibimbap. Our scratch kitchen is known for healthy alternatives, accommodating special diets, serving private parties, and keeping the good vibes going. The restaurant is nestled in the Chugach Mountains offering lots of recreational opportunities.

Some housing is available. If you are applying from out of state, you would fly into Anchorage, Alaska.
We provide transportation to and from Anchorage.
