Build community. Love the mountains.

Laconia Market & Cafe is more than a cafe.

We're the neighborhood grocery store, coffee shop, gathering place, and first stop for thousands of people heading into the Cascades. On any given day, we're serving skiers before first chair, hikers grabbing lunch, locals picking up groceries, families on road trips, and regulars who know us by name.

We're looking for someone who wants to be part chef, part host, part leader, and part community builder.

This isn't a position where you'll hide in the kitchen. We believe the best hospitality happens when the people creating the food are also connecting with the people enjoying it.

Lead the TeamYou'll oversee both the kitchen and front-of-house staff in partnership with other Team Leads.

Responsibilities include:

Training new employeesSetting daily prioritiesCoaching team membersCreating a positive workplace cultureHelping staff growJumping into any position when neededLeading by exampleLead the CafeWhen the cafe gets busy, everyone jumps in. That includes you.

You'll regularly jump in to:

Greet guestsTake food & drink orders at the registerAnswer questions about the menuHelp customers shopping in the marketAssemble customer ordersCreate a warm, welcoming atmosphereWho You AreYou might be the perfect fit if you:

Love cooking as much as you love peopleEnjoy wearing many hatsStay calm under pressureEnjoy a fast paced environmentNaturally lead with kindness and accountabilityTake pride in clean, organized systems and spacesLike solving problemsCan switch from making a sauce, to preparing a customer order, to helping someone find the sunscreen without missing a beatBelieve no job is beneath youEnjoy working with a small, hardworking teamExperienceWe're looking for someone with:3+ years of professional kitchen experienceCulinary school preferredLeadership or management experienceStrong organizational skillsExperience with ordering and inventoryKnowledge of food safety standardsAbility to multitask in a fast-paced environmentBonus points if you have:

Grocery or market experienceEspresso experienceScratch cooking experienceBakery or pastry experienceA love for skiing, biking, hiking, climbing, or mountain lifeWhat Success Looks LikeSix months into this role:

The kitchen runs smoothly, even on the busiest days.

Prep is organized and consistent.

Food quality is exceptional.

The front-of-house team feels supported.

Guests know your name.

The cafe feels welcoming, calm, and fun even during the rush.

Why Laconia?

This isn't a corporate restaurant.

We're independently owned by two women who care deeply about good food, thoughtful design, and creating a place where our mountain community gathers. Every decision we make is centered around serving Snoqualmie Pass with quality, warmth, and authenticity.

If you're looking for a job where you'll simply manage a kitchen, this probably isn't it.

If you're looking for a place where you can help shape a beloved community cafe, know your customers by name, work with an incredible team, and live the mountain lifestyle, we'd love to meet you.
