First Watch is the leading daytime dining restaurant known for its made-to-order breakfast, brunch, and lunch offerings. This innovative dining concept is committed to using only the freshest ingredients, inspired by their unique "Follow the Sun" culinary philosophy. The menu rotates multiple times each year to highlight the finest flavors at their peak, presenting elevated versions of classic favorites alongside vibrant fresh juices like the Kale Tonic and renowned items such as the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Quinoa Power Bowl, and their signature Million Dollar Bacon. With more than 630 locations in 32 states, First Watch continues to expand its reach while maintaining a strong commitment to quality, hospitality, and community involvement. As part of their ongoing efforts to support the communities they serve, First Watch donates a portion of every kid’s meal purchased to impactful organizations, having raised approximately 2 million dollars to date.

The company’s core philosophy, known as YOU FIRST, emphasizes a people-first approach. This culture places employee happiness and empowerment at the forefront, creating a supportive work environment where staff members have the independence to make decisions that enhance the customer experience during breakfast, brunch, or lunch service. First Watch is proud to offer an environment with no night shifts, ever, and a fully curated chef-driven menu, designed to ensure employees enjoy their work while delivering exceptional food and service.

The Back-of-the-House team at First Watch plays a vital role in upholding the brand’s dedication to quality and consistency. Each cook is respected as a craftsman, placing their personal signature on every plate prepared.

At First Watch, you don’t need to master every culinary skill immediately — such as the art of flipping an egg — unless you want to grow in that capacity.

Cooks at First Watch are trusted to communicate effectively with their team members, contribute to a positive and collaborative kitchen atmosphere, and uphold rigorous food safety and cleanliness standards. They follow award-winning recipes crafted by chefs with an unwavering commitment to quality and use only the freshest ingredients for every dish.

This position is suited for individuals who are at least 18 years old with a passion for quality food and teamwork.
