Job Description

Cracker Barrel is a well-established restaurant and retail company known for its unique blend of Southern cuisine and old country store offerings. Founded in 1969, it has grown to employ over 70,000 team members across the United States, creating a welcoming and home-like atmosphere for guests. The company is deeply rooted in traditions that emphasize community, quality food, and exceptional customer service. Cracker Barrel is not only a dining destination but also a place where people can gather, reconnect, and experience a warm sense of belonging. The brand's commitment to its employees and customers alike is evident in its culture of teamwork, pride in work, and dedication to creating meaningful moments. They take their mission of being "all in good company" seriously, reflecting their focus on collaboration, inclusion, and respect for diversity. Cracker Barrel stands as an equal opportunity employer that guarantees fair consideration to all qualified applicants without discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, genetic information, national origin, age, marital status, medical condition, disability, or any other legally protected status.

The role of Dishwasher at Cracker Barrel is critical to the smooth operation of their kitchens, which are the heart of every dining experience. As a Dishwasher, you are the invisible engine that keeps the kitchen running efficiently by ensuring that all pots, pans, utensils, plates, and silverware are impeccably clean and ready for use. This position requires someone who can manage multiple tasks simultaneously while maintaining high standards of cleanliness and organization. The Dishwasher plays a vital part in the team, working quietly but effectively behind the scenes to support chefs, servers, and the entire restaurant staff. Cracker Barrel values employees who take pride in their work, stay organized, move with purpose, and embrace a team-first attitude. Experience in restaurants is not mandatory as comprehensive training is provided, making it an excellent entry-level opportunity for those seeking to grow within the hospitality industry.

The position is offered with competitive pay provided weekly, including same-day pay access, highlighting Cracker Barrel's commitment to timely and fair compensation. Benefits start from day one for both full-time and part-time employees and include health insurance eligibility, vacation time, and an employee assistance program (EAP) that supports wellbeing beyond the workplace. Growth and development opportunities are emphasized through industry-leading PAR training from day one, 401k plans with company matching after 90 days, and an Employee Stock Purchase Program that allows employees to invest in the business. Furthermore, employees enjoy a culture of belonging supported by onboarding, ongoing training, recognition programs, and social events, fostering a friendly and engaging work environment. Additional perks include a 35% discount on Cracker Barrel food and retail items and exclusive Biscuit Perks offering discounts on home goods, travel, cell phones, and more. This role is designed for individuals who want to contribute to a reputable brand, gain valuable skills in the restaurant field, and grow personally and professionally in a supportive and inclusive workplace.
