You don't need a culinary degree to work with Clover, just bring your A-game. Our employees have backgrounds ranging from fast food to fine dining, from kayaking instructor to photographer, recent college grads to construction workers.

You’ll find that at Clover, not only do we provide exceptional training in customer service and leadership, but we encourage career growth – many of our managers and operations staff started out as Team Members! We take a one‑of‑kind approach to quick‑serve meals. Our ingredients are sourced from local farms and businesses and are prepared into delicious meals without the help of freezers or microwaves. We currently operate restaurants in the Boston/Cambridge area, and a Commissary Kitchen in Cambridge.

We’re looking for people who share our love of food and find joy through hard work in a team setting. Apply to join Clover today – we’d love to meet you!

• Be friendly, polite, and helpful with customers and team members alike

• Able to stand for prolonged periods of time, and repeated walking, bending, stretching and occasional lifting (up to 50 lbs), with or without reasonable accommodation
• Able to work a varied schedule that includes night and weekends
• Most importantly, a desire to learn, grow, and have fun!

Don't meet every single requirement?
