Recognized as a leader in daytime dining, First Watch has received numerous awards including Newsweek’s Readers’ Choice Award for #1 Best Breakfast in 2025 and has been celebrated as America’s Most Loved Workplace® in 2024. As an employer, First Watch fosters a culture called YOU FIRST, which places a strong value on employee well-being, operating with no night shifts ever and prioritizing staff happiness and empowerment. Employees are given the independence to make decisions that enhance customer experiences, highlighting the company’s commitment to creating a supportive and engaging workplace. All team members enjoy a benefits package that includes health insurance, vision and dental coverage, flexible spending accounts, retirement savings plans, meal discounts, tuition reimbursement, paid time off, and much more. This comprehensive benefits offering underlines First Watch’s investment in its people and their professional and personal growth. The role available is for back-of-the-house team members, specifically cooks, who are passionate about quality food and delivering exceptional dining experiences. New cooks are trained at a station that matches their skill level, meaning no advanced cooking expertise such as egg flipping is required to start unless desired by the employee. First Watch’s award-winning chef creates recipes that cooks are expected to follow closely while using only the freshest ingredients. The workplace culture demands teamwork, clean and sanitized kitchen stations, and a commitment to food safety in a fast-paced environment. Cooks must be at least 18 years old and possess strong communication skills and an ability to work well with others. This role is critical in maintaining the high standards that First Watch is known for in the daytime dining industry. By joining a company that values employees as much as its cuisine—believing it loves its staff more than bacon—back-of-the-house team members become part of a mission to provide exceptional service and quality food while advancing their careers in a supportive environment. First Watch is an equal opportunity employer that will provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, reinforcing its inclusive workplace philosophy.
