Job Description

Broder Nord is a dynamic and popular Scandinavian restaurant located in the vibrant Mississippi Avenue neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. Known for its authentic Scandinavian breakfast and lunch offerings, Broder Nord has established a reputation for quality, unique flavors, and a warm, stylish atmosphere that attracts both locals and visitors alike. The restaurant also boasts a carefully curated selection of aquavit, enhancing the traditional Scandinavian dining experience. The location is a hub of culinary creativity and a beloved community fixture. By opening its doors for collaboration during evening service, Broder Nord is providing an exceptional opportunity for pop-up restaurants, food truck operators, and catering companies to expand their culinary presence without the burdensome cost and effort of founding a new kitchen space from the ground up.

This partnership allows culinary entrepreneurs to operate within a fully equipped, turnkey restaurant environment that maintains the high standards and aesthetic flair for which Broder Nord is known. The offering includes access to essential kitchen amenities such as a walk-in cooler, a hood system, compartment sinks, and professional-grade equipment, enabling seamless food preparation and service. Additionally, the space provides a full bar setup for beverage service and large outdoor courtyard seating that can accommodate a variety of guests, further enhancing the dining experience.

The restaurant is outfitted with high-speed internet to ensure smooth and efficient business operations, creating a modern and connected workplace. This strategic initiative is perfectly suited for pop-up restaurants looking for a permanent evening venue, food truck businesses aiming to establish a brick-and-mortar footprint, or caterers in need of reliable commissary space paired with a ready venue for service. The flexibility, convenience, and prestige associated with operating inside Broder Nord’s well-known establishment offer partners the ability to focus on their culinary innovation and customer engagement without the logistical complications of managing their own facility.

The role primarily focuses on managing and operating the evening service within the Broder Nord premises, leveraging the state-of-the-art infrastructure and vibrant location. Partners will bring their unique culinary concepts, attracting a diverse clientele and building on the existing reputable food culture. The collaboration model encourages creativity, cross-promotion, and enhanced visibility in Portland’s thriving food scene. This opportunity is ideal for culinary entrepreneurs who value operational excellence, a supportive community environment, and the chance to grow their business within a reputable and stylish setting. Applicants interested in joining this venture should demonstrate a passion for quality food and drink service, an understanding of running efficient restaurant operations, and a commitment to excellent guest experiences. Employment terms, schedules, and remuneration details are to be discussed upon application, catering to mutually beneficial agreements between Broder Nord and the partnering operators.
