Why work here

A kitchen people stay in

Restaurant work is hard and the industry has a well-earned reputation for chewing people up. We have built this place around the opposite bet: pay properly, schedule fairly, teach constantly, and promote from inside.

Our average kitchen tenure is just over three years, which in this business is a long time. That is the number we are proudest of.

Our culture

What you can count on

Paid above market, on purpose

A folder with three years of practice makes a visibly better momo. We would rather pay to keep you than retrain every spring.

Schedules posted two weeks out

You can plan a life. Shift swaps go through a simple group, not a guessing game.

We teach the fold

Every kitchen hire learns to fold, whatever their station. It is the fastest way to understand what this place is.

Benefits from day ninety

Health, dental and vision for full-time roles, plus paid time off that scales with your tenure.

We promote from the bench

Two of our three head chefs started on the fold bench. New kitchens open when somebody inside is ready to run one.

Staff meal, every shift

Cooked properly, not scraped together. You eat what the guests eat.
