The Station Inn Bed & Breakfast

Position: Head CookPosition Classification: Hourly, $14/hourHours: Thursday-Saturday 3:30pm-11:30pm + 3-6 hours of flex prep, see belowDate: June 2026The Property Open since 1993, The Station Inn B&amp;B has provided comfortable lodging and tasty breakfasts to rail enthusiasts from all over the world. Situated 150 feet from the busy Norfolk Southern main line, guests relax on our front porch to take in the rail action. History buffs and railfans alike visit this area to explore the famous Horseshoe Curve, the Gallitzin Tunnels, and the Altoona area. We aim to provide a homestyle, comfortable experience for all of our guests. The inn has 12 rooms that sleep up to about 35 people in total.Opening to the public after a 20-year hiatus, the beloved Yard Office Lounge is located in the basement of the Inn. There, we offer classic cocktails, small plates, and sweets in a laid-back relaxing atmosphere in our 1905 speakeasy-style bar &amp; lounge area that complements the &quot;feel&quot; and decor of The Inn. Yard Office's original Men's Bar looks today much as it did in 1904 when it opened. Its ornate ceiling, tile floor and mirrored cherry backbar are a delight to the eye.Our vision is to create a destination that seamlessly complements the Inn's existing ambiance, offering both our overnight guests and the local community a unique, quirky, and slightly elevated experience focused on crafted cocktails and a menu of shareable plates and desserts. We are intentionally aiming to be a destination for early evening enjoyment and nightcaps, rather than a late-night bar or full-service restaurant.Planned public operating hours are planned to be Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Over time, we will re-evaluate our opening hours, and consider additional hours such as Sunday Brunch or Wednesday nights.Service Philosophy Our Inn is somewhat of a hybrid of a train station, a hunting cabin, and your grandparents' house when you were a kid. We are a quirky, eccentric, and thoroughly comfortable haven where the charm is in the details&mdash;and the simplicity of our service. We stick with our menus, schedules, and routines. We incorporate new ideas thoughtfully and slowly. This consistent approach allows our team to avoid the complexity of bespoke requests* and instead dedicate their full energy to creating a warm, convivial, unpretentious atmosphere that feels like coming home. We handle essential food allergies with care but stay true to our menu and schedule, ensuring every guest enjoys the signature Station Inn experience.*Except cocktails. Those can be bespoke!Position Objective We are seeking a self-motivated, friendly, and personable candidate to serve as our Head Cook, supporting the Kitchen Manager in the back-of-house and providing reliable coverage for the kitchen.Positivity, honesty, and integrity are essential attributes of our team and set examples for all staff and their behavior.
