We are a culture driven to create food that is alive with flavor and nutrition, prepared from scratch using authentic ingredients. We do this in a socially responsible manner for the well-being of our guests, communities, and the environment.

- Love interacting with others through delicious and nutritious food
- Enjoy learning about cooking from scratch, wellness, sustainability, and other at-work educational opportunities
- Thrive as part of a close-knit team

Culture
Every person at this company has a sincere passion for great food. From the grill cook to our managers all the way up to our CEO; it’s our daily focus. Our kitchen philosophy is simple. We cook everything from scratch using fresh, authentic ingredients. We have no corporate recipes.
Our business philosophy is to conduct our work with the highest ethical standards, to deliver the very best, and to treat every single employee’s contribution as crucial to our success.
The diversity of experiences and perspectives among our team members brings us great strength as an organization , and we see equity and inclusion as an essential part of our culture. We recognize the food service industry has an imbalance of power, so we are working to change that by starting from within. We’re looking for excited, passionate people who enjoy coming to work. We want all of our employees to use their capabilities to the fullest to create great food and satisfy their customers.
