We are building a crew of wood-fire line cooks, pitmasters, craft beer bartenders, and warm hosts who care about authentic street craft, honest hospitality, and taking care of one another.
Line cooks average $22–$26/hr. FOH servers and craft bartenders average $25–$32/hr with shared tip pooling. Weekly direct deposits every Tuesday.
Free Shift Meals & 50% Off
Eat like a king. Every single shift includes a free woodfire meal, fresh masa tacos, and beverage. Plus 50% discount for you and up to 3 friends when dining off-clock.
Health, Dental & Vision
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance packages available to all team members working 30+ hours per week after 60 days.

Schedules published 2 full weeks in advance via smartphone app. Direct peer shift-swaps without awkward managerial guilt trips.
