Millie’s Restaurant/Chimney Rock – Priest Lake Hiring for Assistant FOH Restaurant Manager Job at Priest River, ID Full Time

Millie’s and Chimney Rock Cafe are two bustling restaurants in the middle of NO WHERE Idaho about 15 minutes from the Canadian boarder. There two restaurants are owned by the same owners and are located about 1/2 mile apart and offer very different menus but have the same expectation for quality of service and food. Both restaurants have long standing managers but are looking to expand for our upcoming summer season. The assistant positions for both are year around but would be structured differently during the off season pending needs/skill sets. For the right person this could also be a seasonal position.

Millies is a Priest Lake staple that was built in 1943 and operated as a bar/brothel and has maintained since then only as a restaurant/bar. I purchased Millies in 2019 and my partners and I have fully renovated it. We have left it rustic in nature but have adapted to changing times and modernized it in many ways. Millies seats 80 inside, 60 on a patio and another 80 on our deck. The outside area in the summer caters to all ages with a kids play area, pickleball, sand volleyball, and outdoor bar and a stage for live music 5 nights a week. Our menu is scratch made despite the extreme volume and we pride ourselves on excellent service. We have a wood fired pizza oven, a nightly fresh sheet and daily house made desserts that are constantly rotating. We are fast paced but comfortably casual. We attract an older crowd of staff and with that we are now large enough that we are looking for an assistant manager.

Chimney Rock Cafe is located just 1/2 mile from Millie’s but has a very different vibe. Breakfast is traditional with a twist. The small venue fits 43 inside and will be opening a patio that seats 60 this summer. We pride ourselves on scratch made food, sauces and high quality with consistency. We are open 7 days a week for breakfast/lunch but this summer plan to expand and open as an Italian bistro in the evenings on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. We are looking for an assistant manager to work flexibility between days and nights. This spot is sure to be high volume with our new endeavor and we are looking for the right assistant manager candidate.

We are looking for two candidates for these positions. I am very particular about the level of service provided and I am looking for those who will uphold the standard. Though the volume levels aren’t at their peak until June-September I am looking to find the right candidates in the next month so that they can properly train as a server, bartender and then manager to properly execute my expectations. We use Touch Bistro as a POS system for both. People skills and management skills are a must. You will be directly responsible for operating the restaurant opposite the manager and with the manager based on business levels. You will be responsible for guest relations, working with the host, keeping a clean facility, expediting, troubleshooting any potential problems before the arise and ensuring guests quality of experience.

Housing- we have brand new employee housing directly behind Millies. They are brand new 3 bedroom condos each with their own individual bathrooms, downstairs in the common area with a kitchen and living room. Each room is $500/person and during the months of June-September there is an additional $500 cash bonus for each month completed.
