Job Description

Torchy's Tacos is a renowned restaurant chain that began its journey in Austin, Texas, in 2006. From a humble food trailer and a creative idea by a dedicated executive chef, Torchy's has grown exponentially to become a nationwide sensation. Known for its innovative and delicious taco creations, Torchy's emphasizes quality, community, and a welcoming atmosphere. As a company, it fosters a culture that values hard work, teamwork, and a commitment to delivering 'damn good' food to its customers. The restaurant continually expands its footprint across the United States, making it a recognized and beloved brand among taco enthusiasts.

The opportunity at Torchy's Tacos is for a Utility Team Member, specifically focused on Busser and Dishwasher roles. This position is vital in maintaining the cleanliness, safety, and efficiency of the restaurant environment. Utility team members ensure that all areas—from the dining room to the kitchen—are in pristine condition, contributing directly to the seamless operation of daily restaurant activities. Working in this role means being part of a team that upholds Torchy's high standards of hospitality and customer service, ensuring that guests always have a positive and enjoyable dining experience.

The position offers competitive pay ranging from $13 to $15 per hour, supplemented by pooled tips that enhance overall earnings. Team members enjoy flexible schedules that accommodate different lifestyles and commitments. Furthermore, Torchy's Tacos provides valuable benefits for full-time employees, including medical, dental, and vision coverage after one year of employment, and a 401(k) plan after six months. Paid Time Off (PTO) is also available following one year of service, demonstrating the company's commitment to employee welfare. Additionally, team members receive a 'Damn Good' food discount card that can be used by both the employee and their spouse, promoting a sense of family and enjoyment even off the clock.

The role encompasses varied responsibilities such as sweeping and mopping dining areas, cleaning windows and restocking service areas, promptly managing spills for safety, and ensuring high levels of cleanliness in restrooms and customer-facing areas. As a dishwasher, the team member will sanitize food preparation and service items, maintain chemical dilution protocols in cleaning stations, organize kitchen inventory, and assist with food prep or line duties when necessary. Physical stamina is essential, as the job entails standing for extended periods, lifting objects up to 40 pounds, and performing repetitive motions like bending, stretching, and reaching.

Torchy's values dedication and attention to detail in this position. The team member must follow detailed cleaning lists, assist customers politely as needed, and take initiative in maintaining the restaurant’s appearance—both inside and out. The supportive environment and commitment to safety ensure that each team member can thrive while contributing meaningfully to the restaurant's success. Joining Torchy's Tacos as a Utility Team Member means becoming part of a passionate community focused on great food, great service, and a great place to work.
