About The Chart Room Restaurant & Cabins
Locally owned since the restaurant’s creation over 20 years ago, the Chart Room is open seven days a week, 6 months out of the year for lunch and dinner. We have employees who have worked at the restaurant since it opened over 20 years ago and we have employees who we are their first job.
The Chart Room is a great place for those who are looking for the Maine experience, slinging lobster to guests in various dishes, joking with your co-workers and making good money. The Chart Room is full of hard workers who want to do a good job and have a good time while they do it. The place is big by Bar Harbor’s standards doing 200-500 guests a day depending on the time of season. Those who work at the Chart Room are movers and shakers, never sitting still and always down to help out their fellow coworkers.
Ideal Candidate
Our ideal candidate is someone hard-working, quick-moving and (preferably) experienced. They take their job seriously, they take their food seriously, but they definitely don’t take themselves seriously. They know when to work hard and when to play hard. When they win, we celebrate it all together. When they make a mistake, they own it and they try again next time. Our ideal candidate is fast to learn and slow to complain. Most importantly, we want staff who are willing to do their job well - because we believe that’s the only way to really do a job.
Room and Board
We offer housing in the surrounding and downtown Bar Harbor areas. If you're downtown, you don't need a car much as everything is within walking distance (max 20 minutes), except to get to work. Those housed in the surrounding Bar Harbor area will likely need a car as the commute could be up to 15 minutes from our farthest housing property. Almost all our housing is single occupancy in shared housing, most of which is a house, and a few are apartments. They're not luxurious but they're centrally located and if you come to Bar Harbor, you likely won't want to spend much of your time in your room anyways. Each housing unit will also have a shared kitchen and bathroom. Most have laundry facilities though not all. Our housing is not pet friendly. If you want to source your own housing, we recommend you utilize Facebook groups to do so and caution you to look early and often as things go quickly on the island.
Employee Perks
Outside of great money to be made, you will have access to Acadia National Park and a free bus system to get around the island. Also, within Bar Harbor, so long as you have a pay stub a lot of the local tour companies will give you 50% off their services so you can ideally try them out to then rave about them to your customers. We also own 8-10 other restaurants around the island and employees receive a discount at all of them. Lastly, if you like food and wine, there’s a weekly farmers market, our weekly wine school and also lots of outdoor-centric activities that involve food (search MOFGA Common Ground Fair).
Getting Here and Getting Around
We recommend bringing your own wheels if it's an option. If you don’t have that option though, Bar Harbor is super walkable and there’s a free bus (search island explorer) that goes to all sides of the island between the months of June through September.
For Fun
If we haven’t made it sound fun enough already please note that for lovers of food, the outdoors and especially the ocean this is your place. Maine has great people and those who come here rarely want to leave - at least until the winter months arrive.
