The company is known for its commitment to quality food, exceptional customer service, and a fun, energetic work environment. Torchy's has cultivated a reputation for serving delicious tacos with a creative twist, alongside an inviting atmosphere that makes both guests and employees feel like part of a family.

The Utility Team Member role at Torchy's is essential to the smooth operation and overall success of the restaurant. This position includes responsibilities as both a busser and a dishwasher, with a focus on maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for guests.

Additionally, you will contribute to kitchen efficiency by washing and sanitizing dishes, organizing cookware, and helping with prep or line duties as needed. The role requires physical stamina, including the ability to stand for long periods, lift heavy objects up to 40 pounds, and perform repetitive motions. A Food Handlers Certification is required to ensure compliance with health and safety standards. Torchy’s values employees who take pride in their work and contribute positively to the team atmosphere. This position offers opportunities for growth and the chance to be part of a company that prioritizes employee well-being and development.

Working at Torchy's comes with great benefits, including flexible scheduling to accommodate different lifestyles, discounts on food for both employees and their spouses, and access to medical, dental, and vision insurance for full-time team members after one year of employment. The company also offers a 401(k) plan after six months and paid time off after one year of service. Furthermore, Torchy's Family Foundation provides additional support to team members during times of need or crisis, highlighting the company’s commitment to fostering a supportive community within the workplace.
