Seasonal Squash Processors

Join our Team at Bavarian Inn Restaurant!

Each fall, local farmers deliver over 50 tons of Blue Hubbard squash to Bavarian Inn Restaurant — a tradition that results in one of our guests’ favorite dishes. It is essential that we have a reliable and committed team to help carry out this process. In this short season, you’ll play a key part in preparing squash enjoyed by our guests all year long.

This is a seasonal role, but team members who show strong performance, attendance, and reliability may be invited to continue with Bavarian Inn in other positions after squash processing is complete. Opportunities may include kitchen, maintenance, dining room, and retail roles.
