Check us out on Facebook and Instagram for more pics. When you're here we want you to feel safe and welcome. In fact, many of our participants return for multiple summers they like it so much! Our hourly wages are competitive and many of our J1 students are able to pay 100% of their living expenses with the tips they earn while working. This is possible because we provide affordable housing and discounted food (75% off) at the restaurant. Overtime is usually available. We enjoy hosting our J1 students at our home for dinners, bbq cookouts, etc. We go to Billings for shopping, food, movies, etc regularly and organize group activities such as hiking, fishing trips, and sightseeing trips into Yellowstone National Park throughout the summer. We know your goal is to make as much money as possible, but we still want everyone to have fun! The job is split into two areas: 1. Front of House - takes customers orders, makes milkshakes, ice cream cones, drinks, helps customers, cleans work area, restocks inventory, washes dishes, etc. 2. Kitchen - cooks food either on the grill or fryer, makes burgers, bags food, prepares ingredients, cleans work area, restocks inventory, washes dishes, etc. We place participants in the job they're most suited/needed, but are usually able to give you choice of kitchen or front of house.
