Their commitment to community care and high-quality service invites guests to discover new flavors and the vibrant spirit of Brazilian hospitality.

Currently, Fogo de Ch5o is hiring for the position of Gaucho Chef, a pivotal culinary role that embodies the heart of this churrasco experience. The Gaucho Chef is responsible for preparing and cooking special cuts of beef and other meats using traditional Brazilian recipes and grilling methods.

The Gaucho Chef seasons, grills, portions, garnishes, and presents meats with precision and style, ensuring that each serving honors Brazilian culinary traditions and delights diners. The position demands meticulous attention to cleanliness and organization in the grill area and involves performing opening or closing shift duties as needed.

This role requires physical stamina, including the ability to stand for extended periods, work quickly, and handle objects weighing up to 50 pounds. Weekend and holiday availability is mandatory for this role. The Gaucho Chef position at Fogo de Ch5o offers a fixed hourly wage of $16.90 and is eligible for tips, providing an opportunity to increase earnings through excellent service and performance.

Fogo de Ch5o also takes excellent care of its team members by offering comprehensive benefits that promote well-being and financial security. Full-time hourly employees become eligible for medical, dental, and vision insurance after just 60 days of employment, in addition to company-paid life insurance and short-term disability where allowed. Voluntary benefit plans such as critical illness, hospital indemnity, accident coverage, permanent life, and pet insurance are also available. Part-time employees receive a minimum essential coverage health plan, along with dental, vision, short-term disability, and life insurance, with coverage starting shortly after hire. Voluntary benefits like pet insurance, legal services, and ID protection are additionally offered.

Fogo de Ch5o stands as an Equal Opportunity and E-Verify Employer, underscoring its commitment to fair hiring practices and diversity. As a member of the Fogo team, the Gaucho Chef will be immersed in a culture that feeds a purposeful future, values every individual, and encourages growth and excellence at every level of employment.
