Hours: Part-time and full-time available; day shift 8am - 3pmish, evening shift 5pm-10pmish

Have some fun and learn a bit about how a full-service kitchen operates.  Many of our dishwashers grow at Migis to become prep cooks, line cooks, and some have even gotten their footing here and have gone on to become Executive Chefs and Innkeepers.  You never know where this job might take you!
