• Belonging - You will work as a team to make people feel welcome
• Energy - You are active, proactive, and work hard to make things happen

• Complete daily prep amounts (portioning fish, slicing veggies, etc), as required by location
• Maintain clean kitchen areas and equipment, to include daily cleaning tasks and weekly deep cleaning tasks
• Be a strong part of a smooth service to include fast ticket times, order accuracy, and adherence to CYM standards and recipes
• Can work flexible shifts and schedules, inclusive of weekends and holidays. We are only closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.

Prior hospitality experience is not required. We believe that the best individuals come with varied backgrounds and experiences. We value work ethic, problem-solving skills, teamwork, and a positive attitude more than anything else. By demonstrating these qualities there is opportunity to grow here!

You’ll love working at CYM because:

• Starting wage: $17.50/hour, plus an additional estimated $3-7/hr in tips for all positions
• We have a friendly, fun, and positive work environment, with a welcoming and supportive team, and opportunities to grow
