Hello Atlanta! We are Hiring! Our Austin store has been a great success and we are opening our second location in West Midtown! We are a small business founded by three vegan best friends. I'm Isaac, the original co-founder and I recently married my wife and she lives in Atlanta, and so here we are! Our Austin store started with one employee 3 years ago and now we have 15 people, and the average take home is about $27/hr as of last week. (more about pay below) We truly take care of our people and treat them like family. Taking care of our people is a core pillar of our brand. Don't let our name fool ya: we started as a vegan burger stand in Austin, TX but have since morphed into a diner-type menu (brunch, breakfast, blue plates, all day cafe). Think R. Thomas meets vegan comfort food. Only half of our menu is burgers. Here's some info below:
About the Job (some deets and housekeeping):
We are looking to hire 2-4 people, approximately 32-40 hours each at Mission Burger Co! We are new in Atlanta but have been in Austin for 3 years running a very busy location! Weekends are required, but we give you 2-3 days off in a row, and the schedule is the same week in and week out.
Experience HIGHLY preferred. Kitchen experience on a medium to high volume hot line, short-order, grill station or fry station a must. This means using a flat top griddle, fryer, oven, knife skills and prep skills. If you do not have any hot line kitchen experience, this is not the job for you. You must have experience cooking in a commercial kitchen. Sorry your home doesn't count, although we love someone who can throw down! Will train the right person with the right attitude and passion to learn more about cooking plant-based comfort foods.
Highly prefer vegan or plant-centric minded persons, although not necessary as long as you're a hard worker, team player, willing to learn, and love the idea of making amazing 100% plant-based food for meat lovers.
Conscientious self-starter with a strong work ethic is a MUST. Sometimes you may be working alone, (but very seldom).
Customers order via a kiosk, so light interaction w customers, but heavy focus on prep, cooking on the line, and opening and closing procedures.
You will need to be able to interact with customers. They order using a kiosk, but we welcome all customers warmly, offer them a free fresh baked cookie, and learn if they are first timers or have been with us before. Warm welcomes are great for business and excellent for tips. Last week tips in Austin averaged $10-11/hr
Please see deets below for details.
We make work life balance a priority. You will always have two days off back to back. Schedule is fixed. Doesnt change week to week.
We pay weekly every Friday.
Interested or know someone who is? Please say hello. We would love to learn more about you, your journey and calling, and your passion for being in the businesses.
Looking to train asap. Located in a Great neighborhood (West Midtown) Easy Parking.
Eat Free!
We will fly you out to Austin, and put you up, and train you for a week so you'll come back to ATL ready for a more localized training.
Pay & Perks
The base pay is $14/hr plus gratuities which is usually in the area of $5-11 per hour. We hardly ever go less than $5/hr unless it's REALLY slow, which is very rare. It has never gone under $4/hr, ever outside of the first few opening months. We also guarantee you $20/hr. So lets say your base is $14/hr, and the tips are $4 per hour for the week, we will back fill another $2/hr to make sure you hit $20/hr. This will only matter for the first month or two. After that, the tip pool should naturally go well over pushing $6-$10/hr
Work Life balance is a priority - you will always have at least 2 days off back to back, and we don't do rotating schedules. Fixed schedules allow people to know when they work and plan life events around it. This also makes it easier for people to swap and trade as needed to cater to life's needs.
We pay every Friday!
Sick Pay + PTO + Mental Health Days.
Super fun work environment.
Free Food!
Training in Austin, paid for by yours truly. Don't take my word for it. Train with my squad and feel the family love and cohesive team vibe. (we have virtually zero churn. people generally stay with us for a very long time)
While we treat our people like family, we expect a passionate and purposeful work behavior; a natural sense of urgency, a desire to truly make our customers feel seen and heard, and just treating people how we want to be treated when we go somewhere. I don't ask for you to fake the funk or be cheesy. I can't train this for natural authenticity, and desire to offer our customers the comfort of a homey experience. You either have it or you don't, and thats totally okay either way. Retail ins't for everyone. But if you think this is you, you will do really well, make great scratch, and enjoy you work. If interacting with the general public isn't your groove, no harm no foul. Don't bother applying because we will see it right away. But if you are ready for something new and purposeful, send me a DM!
APPLYING:
We are looking to hire and train ASAP!
Have a resume? Great! Don't have one? No problem! Just take some time to tell us a little bit about yourself and some of your previous work history, but most importantly, tell us about what you're passionate about and what you love to do outside of work. What's important to you? Please keep in mind: we are looking for experienced line cooks for high volume (grill, fryer, prep, etc).
