Kaylor's, at the Top of the Rock, is looking for motivated individuals who want to work in an exciting and invigorating hospitality industry. It's not sitting at a desk all day, doing the same thing day after day. Every day is different, different problems, different issues, and different ideas. It's organized chaos in a busy kitchen, I used to love it🤗! We're needing cooks!!, but also taking applications for waitstaff, dishwashers, and housekeepers. Come on up to Kaylor's, at the Top of the Rock, in the Cave in Rock State Park, and pick up an application, to get started on your journey in the Hospitality Industry.
