Job Description

Chuy's is a celebrated full-service restaurant chain founded in 1982 in Austin, Texas, specializing in made-from-scratch Tex-Mex cuisine.

The culture at Chuy's is distinctively fun, welcoming, and team-oriented, making it a unique place to work. As a growing brand recognized for its fresh ingredients, never frozen food, and famous signature cocktails like Chuy's 'Ritas, the company prides itself on delivering outstanding guest satisfaction.

Restaurant Managers engage actively in training and developing team members, motivating staff to deliver exceptional experiences for guests. This role demands a results-driven and team-oriented individual who can thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment typical of full-service dining with a scratch kitchen. Managers also oversee compliance with food handling, safety, and sanitation regulations, demonstrating a strong sense of urgency and leadership. The position offers a competitive salary that varies by location and comes with a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid vacation, a 401(k) plan with employer matching, and employee wellness programs. Casual work attire and parental leave options further contribute to a positive work-life balance.
