Position availability spans full-time and part-time hours with shifts during both lunch and dinner service.

Those joining Cheeky will benefit from a highly supportive, growth-oriented workplace that offers competitive pay, consisting of an hourly wage of $25 to $50 including tips, which can fluctuate based on business levels. The restaurant provides outstanding benefits including medical, dental, vision, and life insurance for full-time employees, alongside a 401(k) retirement plan with employer match, paid time off, and valuable mental health resources. Additional perks include next-day pay, employee discounts on dining and gym memberships, and more, ensuring a holistic employee experience.

In essence, Cheeky seeks teammates who value professionalism, teamwork, and exceptional Southern hospitality.
