Additionally, maintaining cleanliness and sanitization at key guest touchpoints is a critical responsibility, upholding the restaurant's standards for hygiene and guest comfort. The Capital Burger offers this role as a full-time or part-time opportunity with competitive pay ranging from $17.95 to $24.00 per hour. Employees benefit from a comprehensive package that includes weekly competitive pay, anniversary pay, paid sick leave, and health coverage options such as medical, dental, and vision insurance. Furthermore, the restaurant provides multiple insurance options, wealth benefits, flexible spending accounts, dining and other discounts, and a matching 401(k) plan for employees aged 21 and over after completing one year of service (eligibility applies).
