Line Cook @ Birdies Social Club
West Sacramento, CA | Full-Time & Part-Time Roles Available
WELCOME TO BIRDIES
We’re Birdies Social Club, a bold new restaurant, bar, and indoor golf playground opening this summer in West Sacramento. Picture an indoor garden party with elevated cantina vibes, a killer brunch scene, DJs spinning on weekends, and private golf suites powered by state-of-the-art Trackman technology.
Our food is chef-driven but wildly approachable, California comfort food that includes burgers, tacos, salads, and seafood, curated by Executive Chef Raphael Kendall, who brings a signature flavor-forward menu to Birdies. We’re open seven days a week, with a big focus on brunch and weekend energy, and we’re building a kitchen crew that wants to grow with us and have fun while doing it.
