  • Starting wage is minimum wage plus tips. Everyone starts as part time and we are happy to discuss the option of more hours after a team member has successfully completed their probation period.

  • Shifts are a minimum of four hours scheduled between 5:30 AM and 8:30 PM seven days a week. We all work (some weekends)!
