  Operating Season May 1- September 30
  
  Best suited for stays of a least two months, we can accommodate your availability throughout the summer.
  
  There are two main areas of employment in our restaurant.
  
  Kitchen: We serve predominately homestyle and homemade food. Sauces, dressing, soups are mostly made in house. Fish is cut by hand, burgers made from scratch etc. Some products involve in-house smoked meats and in-house produced breads. Our cooks should be able to run a grill area and put out orders quickly during peak periods and in the down times manage stock, maintain cleanliness, and food preparation. These are diverse positions that see you working in multiple stations and aspects of the kitchen. If you have extensive prep-cook experiences please fee free to contact us as well.
  
  Front of House: The front end team maintains the cleanliness of the dining room and assist with busing tables. We are very dynamic in our roles as with the scale of our operation we function best by always being busy. The restaurant has a full hot serve menu and 80% of orders are sent to the kitchen. In quieter times the front end team under the guidance of the chefs help with food prep. No previous food prep experience required as you will be trained to the task at hand. Often this is related to making items that go in the front display case such as gourmet sandwiches etc.
  
  If you like a position with lots of diversity and opportunity to work with the public then perhaps our front end team is right for you.
  
  Carcross, YT is a beautiful town situated in the Coastal Mountains of the Yukon with ample opportunities for watersports, hiking, biking etc. and there is no shortage of sunny days, wildlife. You are encouraged to look up the town and the restaurant before applying.

Here you will find all the amenities including electricity, water, private and common spaces with kitchen.

You will be responsible for your own food during your stay, but are welcome to plan meals with us or other Workawayers. On this property you can expect a mix of cabins, trailers and other classic northern living environments. Most accommodations will have all the amenities, and if it is a more rustic Yukon experience you are looking for there may be some dry cabins available.
