The server role at Cracker Barrel is pivotal to delivering the outstanding country hospitality that the brand is known for.

Whether it's offering an extra lemon for a drink, inquiring about the guest's day, or attentively removing plates, every interaction is a chance to create a special moment.

Health insurance options are available immediately to both full-time and part-time employees. The company offers vacation time to ensure work-life balance, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for additional support, and various growth opportunities including an industry-leading PAR training program. Employees can also participate in a 401(k) plan with company matching contributions, available after just 90 days, and a stock purchase program to allow team members to share in the company’s success.
Working at Cracker Barrel means joining a culture that values belonging, development, and recognition. New hires receive comprehensive onboarding, ongoing training, and development designed to help them thrive and grow individually and professionally. The company hosts regular recognition programs and employee events that foster a strong sense of community. Moreover, team members enjoy a generous 35 percent discount on food and retail items, along with exclusive perks on home, travel, cell phones, and more - benefits that extend beyond the workplace.

Whether you have previous restaurant experience or are new to the industry, Cracker Barrel offers all the training and support you need to succeed.
