What Sets Schlotzsky’s Apart?

We don’t just serve food; we serve experiences.

If you’re ready to be part of a team that values service, takes pride in great food, and thrives on making guests feel special, then apply today!

WHAT MAKE US – US?

Outside of our obviously mouthful of a name – it’s the mouthful of flavors we pack into every bite. With each bite a moment, a memory, an escape – well, at least for the time it takes to finish - and with our portions that can be a while. And never a crumb left behind, because good knows good.

Here, we find comfort in knowing our food brings you comfort – from the moment you walk in, to the moment you taste our fresh-from-scratch baked bread. And since everything is made-to-order - from sandwiches to pizza - it makes sense that we’re more deliberate food than fast food. Although, we do promise it’s worth the wait.

So, instead of giving you a long history lesson, we’ll leave you with this...

It’s been 50 years since that day on South Congress where we crafted (and perfected) our very first sandwich. And since that day – we’ve only added to our list of accomplishments.

But don’t just take our word for it – just ask our devoted fans. Like the ones that legit can’t quit our jalapeño chips or our homemade hot sauce.

What will be your thing?
