Job Description

Cracker Barrel is a renowned restaurant and retail establishment that has been serving guests since 1969 with a unique blend of southern hospitality, delicious food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Known for its abundant servings and unexpected finds, Cracker Barrel provides not only a dining experience but also a place where guests can feel at home and reconnect. With over 70,000 team members nationwide, Cracker Barrel prides itself on its strong roots and commitment to delivering more than just a meal - it delivers moments that matter. The company thrives on a culture of belonging, teamwork, and genuine care for both its guests and employees, emphasizing shared success and growth within its workforce.

This Dishwasher role is essential to supporting the smooth operation of the kitchen behind every Cracker Barrel meal. As a dishwasher, you will be the steady hand behind the scenes, ensuring every pot, pan, fork, and plate is spotless and ready for the next round of service. This role suits individuals who can juggle multiple tasks effectively, take pride in their work, stay organized, and embrace a team-first mindset. Cracker Barrel provides a compassionate and supportive work environment and will offer all the necessary training for this position, welcoming those with no prior restaurant experience. You will play a key part in making the moments that matter, both big and small, by maintaining the high standards of cleanliness and organization expected in a busy culinary setting.

The company offers competitive pay every week with same-day pay access, along with eligibility for health insurance from day one for both full-time and part-time employees. Other benefits include vacation time, an employee assistance program (EAP), and comprehensive growth opportunities through their industry-leading PAR training program starting day one. Employees can also participate in a 401k plan with company matching contributions after 90 days and take advantage of an employee stock purchase program. Cracker Barrel fosters a culture of inclusion where support begins from the moment you join, including onboarding, training, and ongoing development with recognition programs and frequent employee events to maintain camaraderie. Additional perks include a 35 percent discount on food and retail items and exclusive savings through the Biscuit Perks program on home, travel, and cell phone services, among other benefits.

In joining Cracker Barrel as a Dishwasher, you become part of a larger family that values every member’s contribution and believes in rewarding good work. The job combines the satisfaction of contributing to a well-run kitchen with the many perks and opportunities that support your personal and professional growth. The company is an equal opportunity employer, committed to embracing diversity and inclusivity across all its hiring practices, ensuring a welcoming workplace for all qualified candidates regardless of race, color, religion, gender, or other protected categories. Apply today to be part of a company where the work means more because it’s done together, and every role - including yours - makes a meaningful difference.
