The Friendly Toast
Burlington, VT Full Time
POSTED ON 3/31/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/21/2025
Description:

The Friendly Toast is a unique “all day brunch and bar” restaurant with an eclectic, scratch-made menu. While our tried-and-true recipes are delivered uniformly across our locations, our Chef Battles allow the creative side to shine. We have creative contests that allow our chefs to create specials with the opportunity to win a permanent spot on our menus, as well as the winner earning bragging rights and trophy display.

The Toast prides itself on work-life balance, starting with a 45-hour work week, where the bulk of work hours are between 6:30 a.m. and 3:30p.m. Our managers receive 40 hours of sick time each year. We also offer 80 hours of accrued paid time off for the first two years, and 120 hours of accrued paid time off after three years.

We believe in fun and flare, as much as we believe in passion and progress. Our chefs have weekly and bi-weekly meetings with leadership members to focus on training and development goals, both restaurant specific as well as personal and professional goals. We also hold quarterly in-person chef meetings to discuss food operations, and another chance to showcase your culinary chops.
