It's a job. It's also kind of a family.
"Most of our people have been here for years. We make that easier than the industry makes it look."
The cabin is a small operation — about 35 of us, total. Most have been here for 3+ years. We schedule respectfully, we tip pool fairly, we feed our team a real staff meal every shift, and we close one day a week so everybody has a Monday.
You'll learn from Chef Daniel, our beverage director, and a service team that takes hospitality personally. You'll be paid well for it. And you'll work in a historic Pearl Street cabin instead of a strip mall.
The kind of people we hire.
Warmth.
Hospitality is a temperament. We can teach the rest. We can't teach kind.
Care.
For the food, the room, your teammates, the regulars who remember your name.
Curiosity.
Ask why the lamb is braised that way. Ask what's in the cocktail. Stay interested.
Reliability.
Show up on time, in clean clothes, ready to work. The boring magic of a great team.
The benefits, plainly stated.
Fair pay.
Above-market wages, transparent tip pool, paid breaks. Annual reviews and raises.
Health benefits.
Medical, dental, vision for full-time staff after 90 days. We pay 75%.
PTO & sick leave.
Two weeks paid time off, plus paid sick leave. Schedules built around real rest — we don't burn people out.
Staff meal & discount.
Staff family meal every shift. 50% discount on your nights off, for you and one guest.
