About the Opportunity
Jester Concepts, a Minnesota-owned hospitality company based in Minneapolis, is the food & beverage consultant behind the culinary program at Tepetonka Club. Since 2008, Jester has built a reputation for creating standout restaurant concepts — including Parlour Bar, P.S. Steak, Butcher & the Boar, Starling, Shiki, Mirabelle, and Rustica Bakery & Cafe — all rooted in an "educate, elevate, exceed" philosophy and an employee-first approach to hospitality.
Tepetonka Club is a private golf and lifestyle destination on 228 acres of rolling glacial terrain near New London, MN, about two hours west of the Twin Cities. Designed by the renowned OCM team, the property features a championship 18-hole course, a short course, five four-bedroom cabins, two eight-bedroom lodges, Jim's Supper Club (fine dining), Hog Heaven (pro shop and casual dining), and a Beach Club on nearby Green Lake — plus a 140-acre Ranch with pheasant hunts, clay shooting, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, and a wellness center.
