Kitchen/Food Prep

Cafe Zupas is a rapidly growing fast-casual restaurant brand renowned for serving slow food fast. Since its inception in 2004, this brand has expanded to more than 85 kitchens across eight states, promising continuous growth and opportunities for its team members. Cafe Zupas prides itself on offering house-made, globally inspired soups, salads, sandwiches, and desserts, all crafted from real, whole food prepared fresh daily onsite. The company is passionate about its hospitality culture, believing it to be the essential ingredient that makes their concept truly outstanding. Cafe Zupas fosters a modern and energetic environment where positive culture and gratitude are central to day-to-day operations. The company avoids typical kitchen greasiness by eliminating the use of grills, fryers, and microwaves. Team members benefit from a collaborative, fun culture with hands-on and personal training to ensure they thrive in their roles. Employees also enjoy perks such as 50% off food while working and having Sundays off as the restaurants are closed on that day.

Cafe Zupas is currently seeking dedicated Kitchen Team Members, including roles such as soup cooks, prep cooks, dishwashers, and lobby team members. This position is ideal for motivated individuals seeking a stable, set schedule with no Sundays, early mornings, or late-night shifts. Shifts typically fall between 8 am and 4 pm, catering to those who prefer daytime work. One of the standout benefits is the eligibility for up to five raises within the first year, empowering employees by providing a clear and achievable career advancement path. The company offers hundreds of leadership positions to grow into, giving team members control over their promotion journey. Kitchen Team Members will be responsible for preparing fresh produce, cooking house-made soups, spreads, and dressings daily, and maintaining a clean and organized kitchen environment. Alongside these kitchen duties, team members will operate advanced dishwashers and maintain a welcoming, clean lobby for guests. Candidates ideally will have kitchen experience, though it is not a strict requirement. The ideal team member should be detail-oriented, quick to learn in a fast-paced setting, and demonstrate a strong commitment to teamwork and positivity. Cafe Zupas seeks team players who embody kindness—to others and themselves—and who contribute to an environment where everyone feels energized and valued. Joining Cafe Zupas means becoming part of a company that continuously innovates and challenges traditional restaurant norms, making it an exciting and rewarding place to build a long-term career.
