We're new, we're growing, and we're figuring some of this out in real time, which means the people who join us now aren't just filling a shift. They're helping build the place.

If you say you'll be there, you're there Prior restaurant or kitchen experience is a plus, but not required. Attitude and work ethic matter more to us than your resume Must be able to stand for extended periods, lift up to 30 lbs, and work around heat and kitchen equipment Room to Grow Here's the thing about being a new concept: we're not going to hire our next leaders from outside. We're going to grow them from inside this kitchen. If you're someone who pays attention, learns the business alongside us, and wants more responsibility over time, there's a real path here, not just a job posting promise. Our current leadership started exactly where you'd be starting. How to Apply Apply through Indeed or stop by Spitfire Chicken at 2510 Village Green Place to introduce yourself in person.
