Pit Cook

Description

Southside Market & Barbeque seeks the right people for the right opportunities!

We are interested in adding folks to our team that are as authentic as our food.

The BBQ business isn't like fast food or a full-service restaurant. We consider ourselves quick service, cafeteria style. Our guests come in the front door and our greeted by out Ice Cream/ Market attendant. They go in through the corral and order at the counter with the Guest Service Rep. After, they slide down to the register and their food is ready by the time they pay! 

We're in the people business, we just happen to serve good BBQ. We want to hire folks that value teamwork and have pride in the hard work we do. If you interview, we'll discuss the types of positions we have, what type of position you’re looking for, growth and advancement opportunities! Even if we're fully staffed, we're always looking for new leaders that can thrive with Southside. 

The Pit is the back bone of what we do. We look for skilled cooks with pride in what they make. If you've got the right cooking experience, even if it isn't BBQ but you want to learn, we want to teach. We are currently looking to add a Pit Cook to our team in Leander, TX. The BBQ industry isn't your typical kitchen. We cook low and slow and by the book. We make consistent, premium, authentic Texas BBQ. As the oldest BBQ joint in the state, have a lot of pride in the food we serve.
