Job Description

HomeGrown is a unique and innovative restaurant concept unlike any other you have experienced in the traditional restaurant industry. Established as part of the Thrive Restaurant Group, a family-owned business with over 50 years of experience in the hospitality sector, HomeGrown is quickly becoming Des Moines' hottest and busiest breakfast and brunch destination. Since its inception in 2017, HomeGrown has grown to multiple locations, bringing its fresh, locally inspired, and kindhearted approach to food and service to more and more customers each day. The restaurant strongly believes in the philosophy of 'Local when it's better,' which means it partners with local farmers, dairy producers, bee hivers, and other purveyors who share a commitment to freshness, high-quality ingredients, and community involvement. This commitment to community and quality is what makes HomeGrown stand out from other eateries and builds a loyal customer base that appreciates both the food and the ethos behind it.

HomeGrown is not just about serving great eggs and bacon; it's about cultivating kindness throughout the workplace and customer experience. Every team member is encouraged to embed kindness, politeness, and consideration into their daily interactions, creating a welcoming environment where teamwork and personal development are valued as much as the food served. This culture creates a supportive and respectful atmosphere that helps employees thrive both professionally and personally.

This opportunity is for those who want to be part of a lively daytime eatery that values work-life balance, culture, and community. A key highlight of the position is the scheduling policy, which guarantees that employees have their shifts end by 3:30 pm every day they work. This policy supports a healthy work-life balance and allows ample time for personal life after work hours.

When it comes to compensation, HomeGrown offers pay that matches or exceeds traditional restaurant jobs, which means employees earn competitive wages for the breakfast and brunch industry. Additionally, full-time team members receive comprehensive benefits including paid time off, vision care, dental insurance, and medical insurance. These benefits underscore HomeGrown's commitment to taking care of its employees just as well as it takes care of its customers.

At HomeGrown, you have the unique chance to learn and grow within a company that values leadership, business knowledge, and hospitality skills. Whether you want to pursue a long-term career in the restaurant industry or simply earn a paycheck in a friendly, family-like atmosphere, this is an ideal place to work. The mix of a fun work environment, meaningful partnerships with local suppliers, and a strong emphasis on kindness creates an experience that is fulfilling for both employees and guests. If you seek a restaurant job that goes beyond the ordinary and truly cares about the people it serves and employs, HomeGrown invites you to join their team and help deliver a great breakfast and brunch experience to the people of Des Moines while enjoying an early end to your workday every day.
