Team Member - New York, United States - Melt Shop

Description

We hear people talk about comfort food all the time. But what is comfort food?

IT'S THE FOOD YOU'D RATHER HAVE THAN ANY OTHER FOOD. Food that reminds you of comfortable times. Easier times. Yummier times. Times when home cooking was the only kind of cooking. For us, that food is grilled sandwiches. And tater tots. And milkshakes. Mmmmilkshakes.

With Melt Shop, we set out to make the best damn sandwich on the planet. Period. Better than our Mom's (sorry, Mom). Better than your Mom's. It's the comfort food you love, but like you've never had it before. Next level stuff, made from only the best ingredients, fresh-baked bread every day, and the best cheese around.

We know because we looked really hard. You can take comfort in knowing that we are never comfortable, until your sandwich is.

Created in 2011, Melt Shop is an American sandwich concept focused on comfort food made from scratch. We now have locations in Manhattan, Long Island, NJ, and PA and are preparing to grow our brand nationally.

At Melt Shop, our goal is to develop and retain the best team members in the business. We encourage our team members to have fun and grow both personally and professionally. At Melt Shop, each team member works side by side to help deliver high quality and delicious food. We are looking for individuals who love food, love the brand, and want to help us expand. We are true to our core values.

• Make people smile
• Excellence in everything
• Love the hustle
• Team first
