Cracker Barrel is a renowned American restaurant and retail company that has been delighting guests since 1969. Known for its homestyle cooking and southern hospitality, Cracker Barrel creates a welcoming environment where guests can gather to enjoy delicious food, hearty servings, and a unique shopping experience featuring unexpected finds.

The Server position at Cracker Barrel is central to the guest experience, embodying the spirit of country hospitality at every table.

This role offers competitive pay with the added benefit of keeping 100% of tips, reinforcing the value placed on excellent service.

The company's culture promotes a sense of belonging with onboarding, recognition programs, and regular employee events. Additional perks include a 35% discount on Cracker Barrel food and retail items and exclusive discounts on home, travel, and cell phones for team members. Cracker Barrel is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring all qualified applicants receive fair consideration without discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, genetic information, national origin, age, marital status, or disability.
