Job Description

Jason's Deli is a well-established family-owned restaurant business that has been serving communities since 1976. Known for its commitment to quality food and excellent customer service, Jason's Deli combines a friendly atmosphere with a focus on nourishing both the body and spirit. The company's founder, Joe Tortorice Jr., famously said, 'We're in the people business. We just happen to make sandwiches.' This philosophy underscores the deli's dedication to its employees and customers alike. At Jason's Deli, employees are valued not just as workers but as vital members of a community that thrives on kindness, respect, and growth.

Jason's Deli offers more than just sandwiches; it provides a workplace culture that emphasizes advancement, recognition, and quality of life. The company has designed a Career Path program, initiated in 2018, that encourages employees to develop their skills and progress from entry-level positions to managing partner roles at their own pace. This structured development plan reflects Jason's Deli's investment in its people and its desire to create long-lasting career opportunities. The work environment is fast-paced and dynamic, requiring team members to be adaptable, collaborative, and dedicated to high standards of food safety and hospitality.

The position available is for Kitchen Team Members, who play a crucial role in ensuring accurate order production and maintaining efficient ticket times. These roles involve working across multiple kitchen stations, supporting co-workers especially during high-volume periods, and contributing to a positive work environment. The job is ideal for individuals who enjoy teamwork, have a passion for quality food preparation, and thrive under the demands of a bustling kitchen setting. The pay ranges from $10 to $15 per hour plus tips, reflecting competitive compensation for both new and experienced team members. The company also offers comprehensive benefits, including health, dental, and vision insurance, paid vacations and holidays, 401K plans, tuition reimbursement, food discounts, and free uniforms, creating an attractive employment package.

Jason's Deli puts a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusion as core aspects of its culture. The company believes that diversity not only improves hiring results but also enhances business decisions by bringing varied perspectives. Their engagement with local and national organizations that promote equality and inclusiveness demonstrates a genuine commitment to social responsibility. This welcoming environment ensures that employees can be themselves while continuously growing both personally and professionally.

Ideal candidates for the Kitchen Team Member role are self-motivated, driven by growth opportunities, and passionate about customer service and food safety. They must be results-oriented, committed to delivering exceptional hospitality, and embrace cultural diversity. The position demands physical stamina and agility, including standing for long periods, bending, climbing, and working in environments with temperature changes. Jason's Deli values employees who fulfill their purpose and live by its mission: to improve lives through nourishment and make every customer happy.
