A day in the life:
We’re fast casual but there’s nothing fast about our food. We understand the importance of sourcing, relationships, and the pleasure of enjoying a meal. Our AGMs help maintain this high standard- we’re looking for someone that takes on our model of Servant Leadership. They’re hands on, working shifts alongside their teams while training and coaching as well as representing Chook to our community and engaging with all our guests (that they quickly turn into regulars).

Chook has three core values, what we call our “Why’s,” and as a restaurant, our AGM's are key to being sure that our food tells the story of these whys. 

Creating Experiences: exceptional guest experiences; fast casual with a fine dining finesse; creating connections through a smile, hello, or conversation. We’re inviting guests into our homes and want to treat them like family.

Creating Opportunities: building, coaching, & developing our Peeps; creating and maintaining a one-house mentality with our teams - we share in the spoils together; providing sound economic opportunities for all stakeholders (Peeps, suppliers, guests, & communities)

Creating Change: showing that good food can have positive impact on our environment and communities; being a good steward for the planet by managing waste diversion and seeking opportunities to improve; being a good neighbor engaging with our community

 

Chook has made a commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion.
