Benefits included: Transit Discount Program Paid Time Off Corporate Discount Programs Direct Deposit Digital Training Program About Us The Bareburger Mission is our North Star: our guiding light. That which helps guide us in a direction towards being extraordinary. In 2009 we had a very simple vision: let's create the tastiest burger using local, organic, all natural & sustainable ingredients whenever possible. With that in mind, we opened a small restaurant in our hometown of Queens, NYC. We made a promise to offer our guests quality service that made them feel at home. Years later, we're honored to serve clean food to our communities around the globe. Our greatest strength has always been creating a menu with choices that feel good for everyone. Thank you to all the partners, farmers, producers and distributors that we proudly call friends & family. We source mindfully, with our farmers, our environment and our guests in mind at all times. We will always look to the future of food and plant-based proteins which are undoubtedly at the forefront of sustainability. Our menu has plenty of plant-based options and is more delicious than ever. What we eat is who we are, and at Bareburger, we celebrate everyone. Bareburger is an Equal Opportunity Employer Bareburger is committed to providing equal employment opportunity in all of our employment programs and decisions. In order to provide equal employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals, employment decisions at Bareburger will be based on merit, qualifications, abilities and business needs and considerations.

Compensation: $19.00 per hour Our mission is pretty simple. Sometimes as simple as a burger, fries and shake. • We believe, love, serve, and eat organic and sustainable foods in our restaurants. • We believe in foods we can pronounce, no funny business here. • We know that fresh, vibrant, clean food served in a fun place can make the world smile. • We come together to make food that we can proudly serve to our communities, our friends and our families. Our ingredients for our yummy burgers, sandwiches and salads are sourced as close to home as possible. But if Wisconsin has the best cheese and Montana knows bison as well as Texas knows elk, we'll work extra hard to bring those ingredients into all of our food. We celebrate ingredients that are enjoyed the way nature intended. From produce that is free of pesticides and GMOs, to poultry and eggs that aren't limited to cages, to proteins that are grass-fed and humanely raised, and drinks that are composed of natural flavors --- we are dedicated to great-tasting grub with no funny business. We are proud to serve you nothing less than the highest quality meals and refreshments.

Any questions about my application or the hiring process must be directed to the locally owned and operated Bareburger franchisee.
