Cracker Barrel is a well-established American restaurant and retail chain known for its unique blend of hospitality, Southern-inspired comfort food, and charming country store experience. Founded in 1969, this company has grown to have over 70,000 team members nationwide and continues to be a place where guests come for delicious meals, warm welcomes, and a sense of belonging. Cracker Barrel takes pride in being more than just a restaurant; it is a community hub where people can reconnect, feel at home, and enjoy an atmosphere full of hospitality and care.

As part of the Cracker Barrel team, servers also enjoy numerous perks such as a generous 35% discount on food and retail items, exclusive discounts on travel, home, and cell phone services, and access to employee events and recognition programs that foster a sense of belonging and community. The company’s commitment to equity and non-discrimination ensures all qualified applicants will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, genetic information, national origin, age, marital status, medical condition, or disability.
