Job Description

Daily Provisions was born in 2017 from the kitchen of renowned restaurateur Danny Meyer's Union Square Cafe in New York City. It began as a humble neighborhood cafe that merges the warmth and familiarity of classic all-day dining with sophisticated culinary roots. Today, Daily Provisions is a flourishing collection of all-day neighborhood cafes across multiple locations, including New York, Jersey City, Boston, and Washington, D.C. The establishment prides itself on its elevated yet accessible menu that features signature items such as crullers, all-day breakfast sandwiches with runny yolks, freshly brewed coffee and teas, chef-driven salads, made-to-order sandwiches, seasonal sides, and comforting dinner dishes like their famous Roast Chicken. This brand has become a beloved part of the neighborhood community and a recognized institution amongst diners who appreciate quality, creativity, and hospitality.

At Daily Provisions, they emphasize the values of Enlightened Hospitality, aiming to create a culture centered on care, respect, and continuous growth. Working as a Porter at Daily Provisions means being an essential part of the team that upholds the brand's reputation by maintaining cleanliness, organization, and safety in both the kitchen and dining areas. Porters play a vital role in supporting overall operational success by ensuring cookware, storage, and general facility upkeep are handled with pride and attention to detail. This role requires individuals who are eager to learn, able to adapt to a fast-paced environment, and committed to playing their part in a team-oriented setting. Porters contribute directly to the guest experience by helping create a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where the culinary team can focus on delivering exceptional food and service.

The position is hourly with a competitive pay rate starting at $17 per hour. Additionally, employees benefit from quick access to earned wages via a digital wallet, comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as flexible spending options for healthcare and dependent care. Daily Provisions also values work-life balance by offering generous paid time off and paid parental leave. Employee financial health is supported with a matched 401(k) plan alongside life insurance and wellness programs that cover primary care and mental health services. Extra perks include dining discounts across the larger Union Square Hospitality Group network, commuter benefits, and access to an employee relief fund for unexpected hardships. The company encourages professional growth through opportunities for mentorship, continuous learning, collaboration, and advancement within the hospitality industry. The culture is steeped in inclusivity, integrity, and dedication to the customer experience, making Daily Provisions not just a workplace, but a community where employees can thrive.
