Phoenicia Diner, a new locally and sustainably sourced diner in the Catskill Mountains region of New York, will open late summer and is looking to staff its floor and kitchen. Located on busy and scenic Route 28, this renovated vintage diner will be frequented by outdoor enthusiasts, vacationers, weekenders, and full-time residents alike.

The Diner will bring a new source of good food to the area, and needs you to help it succeed. We will connect producer and consumer in a shortened path from field to fork within a casual environment in a beautiful natural setting.

Front of House Manager

We offer an invaluable opportunity for any budding cook and service industry individual to be a vital part of a restaurant opening. Cooks will work within a unique model of sourcing & food creation based on Catskill Mountains/Hudson Valley bounty. Floor staff will learn to communicate the connection between the ingredients and the traditional American diner food that will be carefully crafted from it. It will be hard work in a rewarding environment with a sense of fun. We will create a strongly collaborative team and are committed to learning and room for growth for each individual. We are dedicated to paying fair wages and to providing an enjoyable work environment.
