We are a very busy, fast-paced breakfast and lunch restaurant, especially on weekends. We're looking for someone who is energetic, dependable, quick on their feet, and comfortable staying busy throughout their entire shift.

Restaurant experience is a plus, but it is NOT required- we are willing to train the right person.

More than anything, we're looking for someone who pays attention, learns quickly, and knows how to look around and figure out what needs to be done next.

What We're Looking For

• FAST-PACED- this is extremely important. We regularly have lines out the door, particularly on weekends.
• Quick learner who can be trained on multiple stations.
• Able to multitask and stay organized while working quickly.
• Someone who notices what needs to be done next without constantly needing to be told.
• Strong sense of urgency- if your station is caught up, you're looking to see where the team needs help.
• Comfortable working on a busy food line and handling multiple orders at once.
• Friendly and comfortable interacting with customers.
• Reliable and punctual.
• Positive attitude and willing to jump in wherever needed.
• Able to take direction and work well as part of a team.
• Weekend availability is REQUIRED.
• Early morning availability is required.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be trained to work different areas of our line, which may include:

• Building sandwiches and bagel orders quickly and accurately.
• Working alongside our grill team during busy breakfast service.
• Preparing and restocking ingredients throughout your shift.
• Reading tickets and keeping orders moving.
• Assisting guests and taking orders.
• Packaging completed orders.
• Keeping stations clean, stocked, and organized.
• Jumping in to help other stations when needed.

Who Does Well Here?

Someone who likes to move.

Our restaurant gets extremely busy, and our strongest team members don't stand around waiting for someone to give them their next task. They finish what they're doing, look around, and see what needs to happen next.

You don't need to come in knowing our menu or every station- we will train you. But you do need to be motivated, attentive, willing to learn, and able to keep up in a genuinely fast-paced environment.

You must have weekend availability!

If you like staying busy, working with a team, and having your shift fly by, you'll probably love working here!

Immediate start available for the right person.
