Job Description

Taziki's Cafe9 is a well-established fast-casual restaurant brand with more than 90 locations spanning 17 states across the United States. Known for its unique blend of Mediterranean-inspired cuisine combined with a Southern flair, Taziki's has become a go-to destination for food lovers seeking fresh, flavorful, and high-quality dishes served in a welcoming atmosphere. The company prides itself not only on its culinary offerings but also on its mission to foster meaningful human connections through its dining experiences. Taziki's commitment to community impact and its family-oriented culture make it a desirable place for employees who value both professional growth and a positive work environment.

The position offered is within the vibrant team of Taziki's Cafe9 as a Food Service Team Member or Restaurant Associate. This role is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to enter the hospitality and restaurant industry with little or no prior experience, as full training is provided. The employment is flexible, accommodating various schedules including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays with hours typically ranging from 9 am to 10 pm depending on the store location. Employees will enjoy a base pay starting at $11 per hour, with the added benefit of a high-paying tip pool. Additionally, team members receive free delicious meals on every shift and have the option to be paid daily, making this opportunity financially appealing.

This role involves acting as a Taziki's Brand Ambassador to customers by exemplifying excellent service, sharing knowledge about the menu, the company story, and culture, and creating memorable dining experiences for guests. Team members will be expected to place orders, deliver food to diners or pickup customers, operate the POS system properly, and handle cash transactions securely. Maintaining health and safety standards while adhering to alcohol handling policies is also a critical part of the job. Shift-side duties such as opening and closing procedures ensure smooth daily operations, requiring individuals to be dependable and cooperative in a busy environment.

Taziki's emphasizes a work environment that values professionalism, respect, and passion. It seeks energetic individuals who are eager to learn and thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented setting. The role demands physical endurance for tasks such as standing and walking for extended periods, lifting up to 30 pounds, and performing routine cleaning activities. The company supports employees in obtaining food handler certifications, which are mandatory shortly after hiring, underscoring its commitment to safety and quality.

For team members who progress with Taziki's, there is a promising career path leading to ownership opportunities. Furthermore, eligibility for medical, dental, vision, and disability insurance, paid time off, and a 401k retirement savings program with employer match makes Taziki's a supportive employer focused on both immediate and long-term employee wellbeing. Taziki's Cafe9 is an equal opportunity employer dedicated to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can succeed and feel valued.
