Job Description

The Horseshoe Cafe

Free Shift Meals | Wellness Bonus | Historic Local Favorite

The Horseshoe Café has been serving Bellingham for nearly 140 years, and we're looking for our next great cook to join the team.

We're a locally owned diner where people genuinely help each other out. We believe in treating coworkers with respect, and creating a kitchen where everyone pitches in. If you're dependable, enjoy staying busy, and take pride in doing things well, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do

Every shift is a little different, but you can expect to:

  • Cook classic diner favorites in a fast-paced short-order kitchen
  • Prep ingredients and stock your station
  • Keep your workspace clean and organized
  • Help with dishes and kitchen projects when needed
  • Jump in wherever the team needs support

We cross-train our kitchen staff, so you'll have opportunities to learn both line cooking and prep cooking.

What We're Looking For

You don't need decades of experience—we're looking for someone with a great attitude and strong work ethic.

You are:

  • Reliable and show up ready to work
  • Friendly and communicate well with others
  • Able to stay productive during both busy rushes and slower periods
  • Comfortable working as part of a team
  • Willing to jump in and help wherever needed

Requirements

  • Valid Washington State Food Worker Card
  • Available to work weekends and some holidays
  • Able to stand for extended periods and perform physical kitchen duties
  • Able to lift up to 50 pounds

Pay & Benefits

Starting Pay

  • $20/hour base wage
  • Plus $2–4/hour average cash tips
  • Typical starting earnings: $22–24/hour

Additional Benefits

  • Free shift meal every shift
  • Employee discount when off the clock
  • $100 wellness bonus after your 90-day introductory period
  • Floating paid day off after 90 days
  • Performance review with opportunity for a raise after 90 days
  • Additional hours often available through shift coverage and holidays

A Quick Note

Ready to Apply?
