Previous food-service experience is helpful but not required—we are willing to train someone with a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and genuine interest in learning. We are not a basic heat-and-serve snack bar. Our team prepares high-quality breakfasts, dinners, handcrafted pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and other meals for campground guests and the public. Primary Responsibilities Take guest orders and process payments accurately. Prepare, cook, and serve menu items according to established recipes and quality standards. Assist with food preparation, portioning, stocking, and product rotation. Help prepare donuts, themed specials, and other food offered during campground activities and events. Maintain high standards for food quality, presentation, sanitation, cleanliness, and organization. Complete assigned temperature checks, cleaning logs, opening duties, and closing duties. Wash dishes and clean cooking equipment, counters, floors, dining areas, and other assigned spaces. Monitor supplies and promptly communicate low inventory or food-quality concerns. Follow all food-handling, sanitation, safety, and allergy-awareness procedures. Work independently when scheduled for one-person coverage and as part of a team of up to three employees during busier periods. Communicate professionally with guests and coworkers. Perform other reasonable food-service duties based on campground needs. Because we do not have traditional servers, kitchen employees share responsibility for taking orders, cooking meals, serving guests at the counter, cleaning, and maintaining the dining area. Qualifications and Physical Requirements Previous food-service, kitchen, cashier, or customer-service experience is helpful but not required. Willingness to learn food preparation, cooking, sanitation, and guest-service procedures. Ability to follow recipes, instructions, portion standards, and safety requirements. Ability to remain calm and organized during busy service periods. Dependable attendance and availability to work weekends, holidays, early mornings, and evenings. Ability to obtain any food-safety certifications required for assigned duties. Ability to remain on your feet for extended periods and frequently bend, reach, lift, carry, and move food products, supplies, and kitchen equipment. Ability to work safely around hot surfaces, sharp utensils, commercial appliances, and cleaning products. Reasonable accommodations may be provided to qualified individuals with disabilities. Guest Service Expectations Circle Pines is a family-friendly campground, and every kitchen employee is expected to interact with guests as professionally and warmly as a front desk employee. Team members should maintain a welcoming attitude, communicate respectfully, and respond calmly to guest questions or concerns.
