Position Summary

At Spring Lake Resort our approach is simple – make great food, keep your space clean and organized, and serve our guests as kindly as possible. The best way we deliver on these goals is through keeping a down-to-earth environment, keeping things moving, and having fun!

We consider ourselves extremely lucky to be able to meet and serve people from all different parts of the world, thousands of tourists get drawn to Algonquin Park and the natural beauty of the area, and we’re proud to be reopening our cozy dining room that overlooks Spring Lake in Dwight, but we need your help. The core members of our team Jack, Irene, and Patrick Pobojewski try to keep a warm and open relationship with both our guests and staff. But, unlike other family businesses, we really value your time and your life outside of work as well, because we know that it takes a special someone to enjoy the fast-paced environment in the restaurant industry.
