Our Nifty Team
Jennie
As a young girl, Jennie dreamed of owning her own restaurant — and today, that dream has come true with her name proudly on the door, known throughout the Lakeland!
Having worked in the food industry since she was 14, Jennie brings years of experience to the table. She’s crafted a menu full of comforting favourites that everyone can enjoy.
Jennie’s belief in community is at the heart of everything she does. So if you spot her around the diner, be sure to give her a friendly wave — she’s likely busy hustling or baking up a storm!
Camile
Camile — is Jennie’s husband and the reason everything around here runs so smoothly (and looks so shiny!). From the crack of dawn, Cam is hard at work keeping the diner in top shape, handling all the maintenance with pride and care.
He actually spent some time in the kitchen as a teenager before moving into a long career in the oilfield. After retiring in 2012, he rolled up his sleeves to help bring Jennie’s dream diner to life — and he’s been a key part of it ever since.
If you stop by mid-day, you’ll probably catch Camile enjoying a quiet moment with a bowl of soup — one of life’s simple pleasures.
Alisha
If you’ve admired our menus, loved our branding, or noticed a fun social post — chances are, Alisha had a hand in it. She is the creative mind behind it. She’s been with Jennie’s Diner since the very beginning and continues to handle all of our marketing and design.
Alisha spent five years working in the diner, doing just about everything — from washing dishes and cooking meals to baking treats and keeping the regular “coffee boys” in line with her quick wit and charm. She truly was a jack of all trades.
Today, Alisha is pursuing her career in nutritional therapy and personal training, but she still pops in from time to time — helping new servers find their rhythm or launching a fresh design for us. And if you’re wondering about the resemblance… yes, she’s Jennie’s daughter — and we couldn’t be prouder!
Tina
Tina is our behind-the-scenes powerhouse — our prep cook and go-to fill-in on the line when things get busy. With 44 years of kitchen experience, she’s been an incredible addition to the team.
Her love of cooking started early, following her mom around the kitchen — and she never looked back. Tina is known for her handmade perogies and flavourful soups that our regulars can’t get enough of.
Her go-to meal on the menu? The Classic Breakfast — a timeless favourite.
Fun fact: Tina is also Jennie’s sister-in-law, making this diner even more of a family affair!
Richard
I
Richard has been in the service industry since he was 18 years old, and joined Jennie’s Diner back in 2014. Since then, he’s become a key member of our diner family, leading the kitchen with skill, consistency, and heart.
He’s known for keeping things running smoothly behind the grill — but what most people don’t know is that Richard can bake… and he makes a mean apple pie that rivals even the best home-baked ones!
With years of experience and a calm presence in the kitchen, Richard is a big part of what keeps our comfort food so comforting.
Selina
Selina started out in the dish pit and worked her way onto the floor — and we couldn’t be happier she did! With her bubbly personality and bright smile, she’s often the first friendly face you see when you walk through the door.
She’s been part of the Jennie’s Diner family for six years, and over that time, she’s grown into a confident and caring morning server who knows our regulars by name.
Her favourite colour is pink, which fits her cheerful energy perfectly. While she dreams of doing even more in the future, for now, she’s exactly where she’s meant to be — helping start your day off right.
Brittany
She started in the dish pit, and now she’s one of our friendly faces on the floor, serving with a smile. She might be quiet, but don’t be fooled — she knows exactly how to handle the regular coffee boys!
In November, she and her partner welcomed a beautiful baby girl, and we couldn’t be happier for her. She’s currently enjoying some well-deserved time off with her new little one.
Her favourite menu item? Our spicy soup — just like her, it’s full of warmth and a little kick.
Steve
Steve is the newest cook to join our kitchen crew — and while he doesn’t say much, his cooking speaks for itself! He’s already known for serving up a mean burger that keeps customers coming back.
Before joining us, Steve spent 20 years as a meat cutter at Brousseau’s, so he knows his way around quality ingredients and good flavour.
His favourite treat? A milkshake — any flavour will do!
We’re proud to have Steve on our team and can’t wait for you to taste what he’s cooking up.
Daria
Daira joined our team in February 2025, and has quickly found her rhythm as a server. She’s a fast learner, always ready to jump in, and she serves every customer with a smile.
When she’s not at the diner, Daira loves spending time with her son — her favorite way to unwind after a busy shift.
We’re excited to have her as part of the team and can’t wait for you to get to know her!
Bryer
Bryer joined us in 2025, jumping right in during our busiest time of year. She’s already balancing her time between the dish pit and serving you with a smile.
Her secret? She lives for carbs — so you’ll often find her enjoying our homemade bread or fries!
We’re excited to have Bryer on board and can’t wait for you to meet her.
Jacqueline
Jacqueline is the newest member of the Jennie’s Diner family. She started in the dishwasher role and helps whip up your favourite milkshakes with a smile.
During her shift, you’ll often find her enjoying a cup of coffee and a comforting bowl of soup — the perfect fuel for a busy day!
We’re thrilled to have Jacqueline on the team!
