Everyone should have a career this satisfying!

Our Yardies need a ringleader.

We’ve got a specific vibe over here at Yard House (great food, classic rock, good beer—and loads of it) thanks in no small part to our Executive Chefs leading the charge. They oversee the day-to-day operations of their restaurants, making good on our promise to consistently deliver high quality, great tasting food to our Guests, and to create workplaces our Team Members are stoked to call their own.

What makes our House a great home?

• Competitive salary with weekly pay, and quarterly bonus eligibility

• Paid time off: up to 3 weeks off a year within the first year

• Company 401(k) with a match up to 120% on the first 6% of earnings *
• Company-paid Retirement Plus Benefit of 1.5% of eligible salary to your 401(k) account *
• Darden Employee Stock Purchase program at a 15% discount *

* after one year of service

Room to grow:

• 99% of our General Managers, Executive Chefs, and Directors of Operations are promoted from within, and 60% of our Restaurant Managers are promoted from Team Member positions
• We’ve got 85+ restaurants nationwide with growth goals across the nation
• We’re part of the Darden Family of Restaurants, the world’s largest casual dining company
