Pancake Chef Restaurant

About the employer

We are a family restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch, and, dinner,  located in a Northern Michigan resort (summer) town. The city is located at the furthest northern point of the southern half of Michigan, right at the base of the beautiful Mackinac Bridge. Being located where we are, surrounded by water, there are plenty of sandy beaches to relax on. This area was settled pre-revolution war, so it is rich in early American history, with many parks to visit from, outdoor activity parks to museum-type forts.  The Pancake Chef is well known for taking great care of its staff with transportation arrangements, half-off menu price for staff, during work or even half days. If an employee comes in on their day off with a guest the entire check is half off. We are also well known for paying our employees some of the highest wages in town. We value our student workers very highly since without them we would not be able to be open our full complement of hours.  

Housing Information: Pancake chef housing are cottages 3 to a room, however, if students prefer to save money and or out of friendships can be up to 4. costs are paid weekly to the front dest 90 per week. The cottages are full of students from all over the world, it is a fun and interactive atmosphere. I have students return year after year. all linens are provided and included in the cost. No housing deposit is required. 
Arrival Information: There are 2 airports that have easily accessible transportation.  Detroit and Chicago from their Indian Trails Bus is the best way to get to Mackinaw City, the bus stop in Mackinaw is right across the street from The Pancake Chef.  I will receive students any day of the week and, will transport them personally to the housing cottages. Here is the Bus website http://www.indiantrails.com/maps-and-schedules. If at least four students arrive the same day, it may be possible to arrange private transportation with one of my staff who makes the airport run frequently, his cost is in line with bus tickets, just a shorter travel time. Upon hiring we will speak in person about transportation from the airport, I will gladly help with booking.  You will need a social security card, I provide transportation to that office for free.  As for grocery runs, there is a local grocery store in town. however, if more extensive shopping is needed we have people that do that as well.
