We are getting closer and closer to opening the restaurant. And that means we are starting to look for quality employees. I am posting our job application. If you want to apply, you need to PRINT it out (cannot be done online) fill it out, and mail it to: 111 N 54th Ave, Yakima, WA 98908. This is the billing address for the restaurant, as I don’t believe that the restaurant has a mailbox yet. We are looking for qualified, knowledgeable, enthusiastic employees that are interested in local food and wine. We are hiring for all positions-front and back of the house, although we have already filled the positions for the front of the house managers. Please include a resume with the application, if you have one.
We will be doing all interviews starting May 25th through May 29th, and not until then. Training will start June 1st. At least we hope. (Some things are still pending such as the lights–hopefully they will arrive and install without a problem because we don’t have extra time for problems. And, I have spent the week wrangling with the Liquor license office, which was solved by getting a very nice clerk in the Secretary of State’s Corporation Division to officially color on a form to make the lady at the Liquor Control board happy) But, things are looking like they will be finished and ready. We will be posting the jobs on Craig’s List and in the paper in about a week, but we do give extra points for early and enthusiastic interest.
We have also just finished the preliminary menus–being focused on local, seasonal ingredients and tending to change our minds, we will most likely be changing these menus again tomorrow. We will also be running a Chef’s Menu that will include limited seasonal goodies, or whatever amazing thing we happen to get our hands on, in an attempt to keep the regular menu a little more same. This is our chance (okay, really Jeff’s chance) to finally cook what we want, whatever we want. We only call it Pacific Northwest Cuisine because it sounds a little more professional than Jeff food. But for today, the menus are together and we will be posting them on our new restaurant website later this month. I will post a “taster” later this week to give you an idea of what we will be serving.
If you have any problems downloading the job application or questions, email me at michelle@sageyakima.com, and I will try and help you out. Thank you for being interested enough to read our blog.
