About the role

BESSIE’S DINER features an aviation‑themed dining experience located at the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport in Janesville, Wisconsin. Patrons feel as though they have traveled back in time to a classic 1950s diner – from the vinyl‑covered stools to the chrome‑plated tables. Children and adults alike will want to feast on the gigantic cinnamon rolls while watching the airplanes through floor‑to‑ceiling windows that overlook the runway.
