Vacancies

Every employee of The Jane is pushed daily to give the best of themselves. Guest service is the key performance indicator for Nick and his team! From the moment they enter until they leave, each guest is immersed in a unique setting and influenced by the food, the drinks, the music, the interior. In short, we strive to give each guest an experience they won't soon forget.

With about 40 employees, The Jane operates with a business structure that requires overall organization and stability. This isn't always obvious, specially since we require the absolute best from our whole team. A high level of service and an intense work pace are essential to reach our general objectives and push The Jane to the next level.
