  We are currently only looking for a Chef or Line Cook; You'll be more or less your own boss, will plan and oversee in purchasing/ordering (with our help), preparation and cooking and if need be perform other duties as assigned. The Ranch is only offering one set meal at 6:30 pm, reservation required and the goal is to build a delicious casual dining within the atmosphere of a Western Saloon/restaurant.
  
  We are kind of a big family and everybody helps everybody... A good team-spirit is a very important part of our Ranch. We have long working/presence hours, mainly due to our Saloon/restaurant. But you will get your free time whenever possible. Of course you always will have 2 days off/week.
  
  We are especially interested in those looking to work independently, who are skilled in multi-tasking, are self-motivated and flexible and like to give 110% - if that's what it needs to get the job done. We expect that you have a bionic strength and stamina to perform physical work, stand/walk for long periods of time.
  
  We offer a wage, room & board, gratuity and the usual days off, executives who respects its team and a fun time! It will never get bored and there is much laughter at the ranch.
  
  International staff are welcome to apply! However, if you are not Canadian, Working Holiday Visa or other work visa is required. We will will prefer helpers who can stay from May to September.
