Job Description

Ted's Montana Grill is a premium restaurant that stands out from the ordinary dining experience by embracing a unique culture known as the "Big Sky Spirit." This spirit is deeply embedded in every aspect of the restaurant’s operations and reflects the values of professionalism, polished service, and a cool, inviting atmosphere. Known for its scratch kitchen where every dish is crafted with care, Ted's Montana Grill offers a culinary experience that highlights premium, fresh, and hand-prepared foods. The restaurant features an on-premise butcher shop, where team members hand carve and grind beef and bison daily to ensure unparalleled freshness and flavor. This commitment to quality reflects the restaurant's dedication to serving guests the best possible product while maintaining a warm and hospitable environment.

Ted’s Montana Grill isn't just a place to work; it is a community where team members are valued and their growth is prioritized. This opportunity is for Line Cooks, Prep Cooks, and Dishwashers who will join the Heart-of-House team, an integral part of the restaurant’s operations. These roles are essential in maintaining the restaurant’s high standards by preparing made-from-scratch food with precision and care. Line and Prep Cooks not only focus on the quality of the food but also bring showmanship and engagement to guests through interaction in the display kitchens, elevating the dining experience. The dishwashers play a crucial role in keeping the kitchen running smoothly by maintaining cleanliness and supporting the overall preparation process.

This is an hourly position, offering a competitive wage range of $16 to $18 per hour, depending on experience. The restaurant strongly supports employee well-being, offering a variety of benefits that include flexible scheduling, medical coverage, a 401(k) plan with matching contributions, and notable career advancement opportunities. Impressively, many of the restaurant's managers began their journey as team members, highlighting the pathways for growth within the company.

Ted's Montana Grill also values work-life balance and family time, reflected by the practice of closing the restaurant on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. This exemplifies the company’s respect for its employees’ personal lives. The restaurant environment is fast-paced and physical, requiring team members to stand for entire shifts and frequently perform tasks such as bending, lifting up to 100 pounds repeatedly, and working in a kitchen environment with exposure to heat, steam, and cold.

Beyond food and service, Ted’s Montana Grill commits to sustainability and community responsibility. This commitment includes sourcing from local growers, using sustainable materials like paper straws, and environmentally friendly cleaning products. The restaurant honors its mission to leave a better world for future generations, reflecting the importance of social responsibility alongside culinary excellence.

Overall, Ted's Montana Grill offers a unique and rewarding employment experience. It is an ideal workplace for individuals who are passionate about great food, enjoy teamwork, and seek to develop their careers in the food service industry within a company that prioritizes culture, quality, and sustainability.
