Junior Chef

Cluck & Char is not just another chicken restaurant.

We're building a modern fast-casual brand centered around fire, flavor, speed, hospitality, and consistency. Our menu features roasted chicken, handcrafted sandwiches, fresh sides, and bold sauces-all designed with quality in mind.

This is a rare opportunity to become the first chef hired by the company and help establish the culinary foundation from day one.

We are not looking for a celebrity chef or a six-figure executive chef.

We're looking for a talented Level 2 Chef who has recently graduated from culinary school, is eager to learn, enjoys working with systems, and wants to grow alongside an expanding company.
