The company takes great pride in its commitment to quality food and exceptional customer service while fostering a fun and engaging environment both for guests and employees. Out West Restaurant Group embodies these values through its inclusive culture, dedication to treating employees—referred to as "Outbackers"—with respect and fairness, and its ongoing commitment to community service and employee development.
As an Outbacker with Out West Restaurant Group, you will play a key role in delivering an AUS-SOME dining experience that leaves lasting positive impressions on every guest.

Adhering to food safety and sanitation standards is paramount. Cash and credit transactions must be handled accurately as part of the responsibilities. Importantly, Out West Restaurant Group offers a culture that values employee well-being with benefits such as comprehensive health insurance options (medical, dental, vision), paid sick leave in accordance with California law, and dedicated time off during major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas to allow employees to enjoy quality time with loved ones.
Additional perks include growth and advancement opportunities through extensive on-the-job training and leadership development programs, such as the Shift Leader program. Employees also benefit from meal discounts and access to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The company’s dedication to fairness is evident in its compliance with California labor laws, equal pay practices, and reasonable accommodation policies.
