## Role description

The tavern feeds a houseful of hungry teamsters from noon to close, every day. You own the kitchen: what is cooked, what is bought, and whether the bread holds out.

#### The work ##

- Roast the goose and bake the rye-and-Indian bread daily.
- Keep the dough-nuts and crullers coming from noon to close.
- Provision weekly from the local farms on your own judgment and budget.
- Keep a kitchen clean enough to survive the dominie's inspection.

#### Context ##

- Reports to the innkeeper.
- Solo in the kitchen, cooking for thirty on a wood fire.
- Pay is £20–28 New York currency per annum (~$50–70 in silver dollars), with board and a bed at the house.
- In-person, six days, noon to close.

_Recorded in the parish register of Sleepy Hollow, autumn of 1799._

## What they're looking for

- Can cook for thirty on a wood fire without a wasted scrap.
- Baking is a must: bread, crullers, olykoeks.
- Keeps a kitchen clean enough to survive the dominie's inspection.

Not a fit if you want a second pair of hands in the kitchen — for now, there is only the one.

## About the organization

A creaking roadside inn on the haunted post-road, pouring cider and small-beer since 1770.

#### Who we are ##

Staff of six: keeper, cook, two ostlers, a fiddler on frolic nights, and a yard boy. Trade is steady the year round — the legend of the Galloping Hessian is our best salesman, for nobody rides past after dusk without stopping for one more.

#### How we work ##

The fire is lit from first dark to last customer, the day-book is tallied nightly to the stiver, and the ghost stories are stock in trade rather than a distraction from it. Staff sleep in; nobody here is asked to walk home in the dark.

#### Who thrives here ##

People with a steady head at midnight, whatever the road outside sounds like, and no objection to crossing the yard after dusk — which is most of several jobs here.
