We are currently transitioning our space into a brand-new concept, and we’re looking for high-energy people to help us bring it to life once we open! We are moving towards launching a vibrant, Southwestern-inspired cantina that is heavily BBQ-forward. The vibe is casual and modern, centered around the idea of a community gathering spot where the grit of a Texas smokehouse meets the energy of a Mexican cantina. While we’re evolving our identity, we’re dedicated to keeping the quality- not just in the ingredients, but with our staff as well! The menu will contain things like slow-cooked meats, Tex-Mex and Southwestern inspired dishes, and some fan favorites from our other restaurants. This will be a menu that is inclusive of gluten-free and allergen-friendly diets, so we’re looking for people who are as committed as we are to providing a safe environment for the guests who have these requests. On the bar side, we will have many kinds of beers, a menu of crafted cocktails, and a heavy focus on fresh margaritas. We need a team that is comfortable in a fast-paced environment and genuinely enjoys the hospitality industry as we aren’t looking for corporate robots; we want people with personality! Especially people who can help us establish a new culture from day one, and people who can make the workplace feel like a haven, rather than a chore. Whether you’re working the pit or the front of house, our number one goal is to provide a relaxed but professional experience for our guests. So, if you have a passion for bold flavors, wood-fire cooking, a positive and collaborative workplace culture and a high-energy atmosphere, we’d love to talk to you about joining the crew as we start this new chapter!
