Striking Up Fun Since 2006

Big Al’s first opened its doors in 2006, and yes, there’s a real Al (no, he’s not that big, but he’s pretty awesome). What started as a local establishment in Vancouver, Washington has now grown to five locations across the West Coast. While we’ve expanded, we’ve never lost our small, family-owned vibe. At Big Al’s, you get the best of both worlds: the support and structure with the personal touch and the freedom for your voice to be heard. If you want to work for a place that values your ideas and lets you be part of a close-knit team, we’re the perfect fit!

What We Are Looking For

• You know your way around Micros, KDS, or Compeat (or can learn fast)
• You follow recipes like a pro — no shortcuts here!
• You’re all about safety, especially in the kitchen
• You bring good vibes to the team and love working with others
• Ability to obtain a Food Handlers Certification
• Must be available to work weekends, nights and holidays
  
  

Physical Demands

We want everyone to feel successful in this role, and we’re happy to make reasonable accommodations for team members with disabilities. That said, here’s what the job usually looks like day-to-day:

• You’ll be on your feet a lot
• Lift up to 25 lbs? Pretty often
• Up to 50 lbs? Pretty often
• Over 50 lbs? Team Lift Only
• Bending, reaching, and pushing? Yep, that too
• Working in a hot, humid kitchen (flames and all!)
• Quick trips into the fridge or freezer now and then
• Loud noises, fun, and full of energy? Always!
  
  

You Belong Here

Different voices, fresh ideas, and unique backgrounds — we’re all about it. When everyone feels equal and included, the good stuff happens: creativity flows, new perspectives shine, and work feels a lot more like joy. And honestly, we’re here for it.
