We're looking for new team members with positive attitudes and an eagerness to learn who are as excited about good food & GOOD VIBES .

We’re hiring for a Kitchen Team Member position at our Old Town location!

Our Kitchen Team Members are an important part of our operations. Kitchen team members are responsible for executing all aspects of kitchen operations to the highest Call Your Mother (CYM) standards. You’ll use the tools and instructions given to you to hold those standards and continue to improve your performance and product output. You’ll do this while keeping our Values (“VIBES”) in mind. You will work with your supervisors and managers to maintain an efficient work environment.

Company Core Values & Expectations:

  • Vibrant - You are abundantly happy, fun, passionate, playful, and kind
  • Integrity - You are honest, caring, real, and always strive to do the right thing and take pride in what you do
  • Belonging - You will work as a team to make people feel welcome
  • Energy - You are active, proactive, and work hard to make things happen
  • Seize the Moment - You make the most of every guest opportunity by saying yes and by trying new things, and by being original

As a CYM team member, you’ll make an impact by:

  • Creating extraordinary moments for guests
  • Contributing to our business with your ideas and feedback
  • Supporting and lifting up our communities and neighborhoods
  • Being yourself and making genuine relationships with other team members and guests

You’ll be a great addition to the CYM team if you:

  • Prepare ingredients, sandwiches and kitchen equipment completely for service each shift
  • Follow continuous training and specs. Adapt to procedural and/or menu changes
  • Be receptive to feedback and coaching from supervisors and managers
  • Practice all CYM, city, and state food-safety guidelines.
  • Protect yourself and your coworkers from illness by following rules (masks, social distancing, etc) disclosing any possible exposure to illness with your manager, and Don’t Come to Work if You Feel Sick
  • Complete daily prep amounts (portioning fish, slicing veggies, etc), as required by location
  • Maintain clean kitchen areas and equipment, to include daily cleaning tasks and weekly deep cleaning tasks
  • Be a strong part of a smooth service to include fast ticket times, order accuracy, and adherence to CYM standards and recipes
  • Can work flexible shifts and schedules, inclusive of weekends and holidays. We are only closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.

Prior hospitality experience is not required. We believe that the best individuals come with varied backgrounds and experiences. We value work ethic, problem-solving skills, teamwork, and a positive attitude more than anything else. By demonstrating these qualities there is opportunity to grow here!

You’ll love working at CYM because:

  • Starting wage: $17.95/hour, plus an additional estimated $3-7/hr in tips for all positions
  • Exciting opportunities for growth and development! With CYM’s continued expansion, this role offers a strong foundation to grow your leadership skills and take the next step in your career.
  • Great people, real support, and incredible VIBES. We’re focused on a positive, people-first culture where everyone feels they belong and they’re supported. You’ll find a team that’s welcoming, celebrates wins together, and most importantly, keeps things fun every day!
  • Great benefits (our team agrees!) Health, dental, and vision insurance (for full-time staff averaging 30+ hours/week), 4% employer match 401k, paid vacation, and paid parental leave, Employee Assistance Program, free Call Your Mother staff meals, free fitness and wellness classes, free English/Spanish classes and DuoLingo reimbursement, team building activities, and more.
  • Never work nights! We open early, wrap up early, and make space for real work-life balance. Our morning and afternoon hours mean you’ll have your nights free to live your life and prioritize what matters most.

We provide equal opportunities to everyone who works for us and every applicant. We consider applicants for all positions without regard to sex or gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, pregnancy, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, military or veteran status, or any other legally protected status. We enthusiastically celebrate the diversity of our team and believe that talent, passion, and experience are the only relevant criteria for considering new team members.
