We have a small kitchen team that prepares and serves our guests with three delicious, hearty meals per day. As the breakfast chef you will prepare a country style breakfast buffet for 30-50 people. You will also provide support to the head chef with lunch, kitchen cleanliness, receiving food deliveries, prepping, and baking.
Kitchen experience is preferred but not required, as we have a robust and detailed training system, to get you up to speed and ready to go for the season. Kitchen skills that will be helpful (but are not required):
You will work closely with our housekeeping/waitstaff, so working well in a team setting is a must. Being self-sufficient and organized are helpful skills as well.

If you’re a hardworking, social, outgoing lover of the outdoors and the Wild West, slip on your boots (not in the kitchen though), and come join our team!

Our wranglers get to lead our guests on trail rides on the almost endless miles of trails around the ranch. You will be expected to lead rides of any skill level, provide lessons, and have an in depth knowledge of our trail system.

We understand that this may sound like a lot, but all of our wranglers will be provided with the necessary training to competently complete the above responsibilities.

Preference will be given to applicants who are available to work the full season May 25th - September 5th.
Housekeeping/Waitstaff

Meals are served buffet style, and working a meal entails supporting the chefs, carrying food to the buffet, setting tables, running desserts, and checking in with guests during the meals. We serve one plated dinner per week, our Friday Steak Night!
Occasionally, you get to fill in and guide guests on some of the beautiful hikes around the ranch, or help on the weekly trip to Yellowstone.
