OUR CONCEPT

• 100 item a la carte charcuterie menu. Think sushi menu, but with incredible cheeses, meats, jams, spreads, nuts, fruits, breads, crackers.
• Tapas, small plates, and luxury scratch made recipes - Creative, very flavorful, hearty menu.
• This simplistic menu means that team members are not dealing with hot fryer oil, cleaning stinky flat-tops, and disposing of grill ash. This concept is clean and not a smelly, greasy kitchen.
• Small plates and family style shared plates and tapas selection encourages guests to taste many elements on the menu - rather than have a large plate of one item.
• Full bar, extensive, esoteric wine list, happy hour every day.

• This pay philosophy fosters a team environment in which every part of the team is excited to make sure the clients have a fabulous experience, without the age-old struggle between FOH, BOH and support team. It also ensures the equality in pay that we value as a brand.
• We offer excellent health insurance for our full-time team members.

• We want team members who not only want to find a home with us, but they are looking to grow with us as well! This restaurant brand is a new, fresh, and growing one.

• You should not only have experience, but passion and talent in cooking!
• Obvi you need to be legally able to work, and be able to handle physical labor.
