First Watch in Raleigh is seeking friendly cooks to join our Back-of-the-House team. We offer no night shifts and a chef-curated menu, plus a strong YOU FIRST culture that puts employees first every day.
As a Cook, you’ll train at a station that fits your comfort level, follow our award-winning recipes, and help deliver high-quality, safe meals in a fast-paced kitchen while maintaining a clean, organized station.
In addition to no night shifts ever, and our fully chef-curated menu, our #1 priority has always been our people. We care about our customers, and we care about you! That’s where our YOU FIRST culture begins – each day, we put our employees first and strive to make them happy. They are empowered with independence to make decisions that will help provide an exceptional breakfast, brunch, or lunch experience for their customers. In fact, we like to say we love our employees more than bacon. And that says a lot.
All employees are eligible for the following:
*FT Employees are eligible the first of the month after 60 days of employment and must enroll within 30 days of employment.
Our Back-of-the-House team members have a mutual respect for quality food, and they perform their responsibilities as if placing a personal signature on every plate. Newly hired cooks will train in a specific station based on their comfort level & innate skill. In other words, you don’t need to master the art of flipping an egg to work at First Watch (unless you want to!)
