Job Description

Boxcar Bar + Arcade is a locally-owned hospitality and entertainment company with four unique locations across North Carolina. Unlike a typical chain, Boxcar values individuality and personality, creating environments that are eclectic, sometimes eccentric, but always welcoming. Each venue is distinct in vibe but united by a shared mission: a dedicated team that is passionate about providing exceptional experiences to every guest while fostering a supportive and collaborative atmosphere among staff. This is not just a place to work; it is a community of people who care deeply about making each night memorable for both guests and colleagues alike.

At Boxcar, the product is more than just a meal or a drink; it’s about delivering a good time. The company takes pride in offering cold drinks, exciting games, great pizza, and even better people. Guests range from pinball enthusiasts and competitive skee-ball players to after-work crowds and casual visitors seeking a smooth drink in a relaxed, unpretentious setting. The unique blend of entertainment and hospitality makes Boxcar a standout destination for socializing and fun.

The kitchen serves as the heart of each location, powering the party with high-quality, scratch-made pizza crafted with hand-tossed dough and fresh ingredients. Unlike the typical arcade food experience, Boxcar’s kitchen emphasizes craftsmanship, transparency, and exceptional product quality that customers can witness firsthand. As a pizza professional at Boxcar, you will be expected to handle the heat, master the dough with precision, and engage with guests in the open kitchen environment.

This role involves much more than just cooking; it demands a passion for hospitality, teamwork, and taking pride in every aspect of food preparation and delivery. You will be responsible for executing recipes consistently, managing inventory and prep work, ensuring food safety and cleanliness, and handling large catering orders during private events without disrupting the flow of the kitchen. The role also includes customer interaction through order taking and operating the POS system, making interpersonal skills essential.

Boxcar’s culture is built on kindness, honesty, integrity, and mutual respect, with a strict no a**holes policy. Teamwork and accountability are core values—every team member is expected to collaborate across responsibilities and contribute to keeping the workspace functional and welcoming. The company seeks reliable individuals with a blend of serious commitment to their craft and a lighthearted approach to work, ensuring that the atmosphere remains fun yet professional.

Working at Boxcar means joining a business that prioritizes its people. It offers a supportive culture that values adult responsibility tempered by a sense of fun. There is a commitment to career growth, with a preference for promoting from within, so this role can be a stepping stone rather than just a job. Benefits include a 50 percent pizza discount, after-shift drinks, competitive benefits packages, and working in a vibrant arcade environment that makes coming to work enjoyable.

If you have the experience, the skills, and the right personality, Boxcar Bar + Arcade offers an exciting opportunity to be part of something special in the North Carolina hospitality scene. This is a chance to combine culinary passion with a lively social setting while working alongside a team that truly values you.
