Job Description

Platinum Corral, a proud franchisee of Golden Corral, operates a family-friendly dining establishment known for its mission to provide an affordable and enjoyable dining experience to every guest, every day. Golden Corral has a rich history dating back to 1973 when the first restaurant opened in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Since then, the brand has become renowned as America’s number one buffet and grill, cherished for its tradition of serving wholesome, real food in a welcoming atmosphere that appeals to families and individuals alike. With a commitment not only to great food but also to giving back to the community, Platinum Corral epitomizes operational excellence and community spirit within the food service industry.

As a franchise of Golden Corral, Platinum Corral embraces a legacy of quality and care, demonstrated by numerous awards such as the Diamond Award for Operations Excellence in 2019, achieved by 11 of its restaurants. This award reflects high standards in guest satisfaction, sanitation, employee retention, and community involvement, highlighting the franchise’s dedication to excellence.

Platinum Corral is actively hiring for a variety of positions including cooks, grill cooks, fry cooks, bakers, meat cutters, dishwashers, and food prep staff. These roles are available on both a full-time and part-time basis, catering to candidates who seek flexible schedules and career advancement opportunities. The organization promotes a supportive work environment where more than half of salaried managers started as hourly workers, demonstrating a clear path for growth within the company.

The roles available at Platinum Corral are vital to maintaining the high standards set by the franchise and Golden Corral corporate guidelines. Employees are expected to contribute to the overall dining experience by preparing quality food, maintaining a clean and safe work environment, and supporting their team members. In return, Platinum Corral offers competitive wages, comprehensive benefits, and a workplace culture that values diversity and inclusion. Employees have access to valuable resources such as paid vacations commencing after six months, telehealth services for the entire family, next-day pay advances, affordable shift meals, and AFLAC insurance products covering life, accident, disability, hospital, and major illness indemnities.

Beyond the workplace, Platinum Corral and Golden Corral actively support military members and their families. Military Appreciation Night offers a chance to honor active and retired military personnel with free meals, and the franchise’s partnership with Disabled American Veterans has generated significant fundraising efforts exceeding $17.5 million. Additionally, the Camp Corral initiative provides free, fun-filled camp experiences for children of wounded, ill, injured, or fallen military members, having served over 30,000 children thanks to community collaboration.

Candidates interested in joining Platinum Corral can expect a dynamic environment that balances operational excellence with community values and employee well-being. The franchise embraces its role not just as a restaurant but as a pillar in the local community, committed to delivering great food and memorable experiences while fostering professional growth and development for its team members.
