Sound too good to be true? Our Kitchen Team Members know exactly when and how to get their next promotion and raise. Every team member has a defined career path that they control. It's just one example of many that make Cafe Zupas the best place to work!

At Café Zupas, we serve house-made and globally-inspired soups, salads, sandwiches, and desserts in our next generation kitchens. You’ll find real, whole food that is prepared daily on-site, and we believe our team is the key to what makes our concept so incredible.

With every decision we make, we ask is it right for our team members and our guests. It’s why we source the best ingredients, make everything in-house, and mentor team members each day. We believe it’s the only way to do business.

• Hands-on and personal training
• Fun culture of positivity and gratitude
• Modern, energetic environment
• Set expectations – no guessing
• And of course, competitive pay!

Life as a Kitchen Team Member (soup cook, prep cook, dish, lobby):

• Prepare fresh produce for menu items
• Cook our house-made soups, spreads, and dressings daily
• Organize and maintain a clean lobby
• Manage our advanced dishwasher and cleansing station
• Be good to others. Be good to yourself!

Is it a fit? We’re looking for a team member that is:

• Available to work at least three to five shifts a week
• Kitchen experience preferred; not required
• Quick and detail-oriented when prepping and cooking
• Able to maintain a clean and organized kitchen
• Growth minded, driven, and precise
• A quick learner in a fast-paced environment
• Adaptable to new processes and systems
