Now a little more about what you’d be getting into.  

Who We Are:

We’re a team of restaurant professionals with STRONG personalities. We are always working on something new and exciting in our never-ending quest for world domination. Ok...Ok, maybe not world domination, but we ARE out to be the best restaurant and workplace on the planet.

Our Why:

Our mission is to make friends through food and wine!  We’re more than a restaurant. We aim to connect with each one of our guests, and to deliver an experience that feels like  Grandma’s house on Thanksgiving day.  (Is Grandma’s house a little crazy on Thanksgiving day? Perfect! THIS place is going to get crazy too.)

What Makes Us Great:

There are five beliefs we live by that make us different from your ‘standard’ restaurant; beliefs that we hire for, coach for and, if it comes down to it, fire for.  They are:

• We are All In, Start To Finish
• We Treat Everyone Like They Are Someone Special
• We Believe in Creating Memorable Moments
• We Believe in Hard Work And High Fives
• We Believe in taking our work seriously but not in taking ourselves seriously

Qualities That Are Important To Us:

• Someone who is reliable and has strong follow through.  (If you tend to call out a lot do us a favor and start now) 
• Clicks with our team (This one is critical!)
• Takes direction well, and loves working in a supporting role 
• Detail oriented, especially in the face of constant chaos

Qualities That Are Important To Our Guests:

• Strong menu knowledge, be able to identify common (and sometimes not so common) allergens in each recipe.
• Follow recipes to consistently create masterful works of food art- food should look and taste the same on Thursday as it did on Tuesday.
• Be prepared to learn and work multiple positions. We are a team, you may have to prep food one day, work saute one day, work the grill the next, or as a cold side cook, you will need to know how to do it all. 

• Come to work ready to work. Our guests do not care that we had a bad week, and when you are at Bushel and a Peck your game face is a must.
• Working as part of our family by bringing ideas to help make Bushel and a Peck better and better.

Qualities That Are Important To Our Staff:

• Get coached from the best! Training to help teach you about our menus, our customer service experience, and how we are going to become one of the top rated restaurants in the area.
