Summary

Belly of the Bison is where elegant, comfort-driven cooking meets an exceptional wine list and reinvented classic cocktails, right on Main Street in the heart of downtown Whitehorse. Every plate that leaves this kitchen carries a standard, and that standard starts with the work that happens before service even begins.

We're looking for a Prep Cook/Dishwasher to be part of that. You'll keep the kitchen prepped, stocked, and spotless so our cooks can focus on what they do best, service after service. It's hands-on, fast-moving work at the foundation of a reliable kitchen, and it's where real culinary careers start.

- Dishes, glassware, and kitchen tools are clean, sanitized, and available when the kitchen needs them
- Stations, storage, and prep areas stay organized and stocked, keeping service running smoothly
- Food safety and sanitation standards are followed consistently, protecting both guests and the kitchen

What You Bring To The Role

- Reliability and punctuality - the kitchen depends on you showing up and following through

- Comfort working around heat, steam, wet floors, and cleaning products for extended periods
