📣 FRANKLIN STREET TAVERN IS HIRING COOKS! 📣

We’re getting bigger — literally — and we need a couple more good humans in the kitchen as we head into this next chapter at Franklin Street Tavern.

We’re looking for 1–2 cooks to join our crew. Experience is great, but we care just as much about finding someone who is reliable, works hard, keeps their cool when the tickets start flying, and actually gives a damn about putting out good food.

🍔 Scratch-made, creative bar food
🔪 Fast-paced but small-team kitchen
🍻 Laid-back neighborhood bar atmosphere
💰 Competitive pay
📅 Full- or part-time hours available
🌙 Evening & weekend availability is a big plus

We make good food, we work hard, and we genuinely like each other. With our expansion underway, there’s also plenty of opportunity to grow with us.

Interested? Stop in at Franklin Street Tavern or send us a message and tell us a little about yourself and your kitchen experience, or send a resume to [email protected]

Know somebody who would be a great fit? Tag them or send this their way!
