Our YOU FIRST Philosophy
In addition to no night shifts, ever and our fully chef-curated menu, our #1 priority has always been our people. We care about our customers, and we care about you! That’s where our YOU FIRST culture begins – each day, we put our employees first and strive to make them happy. They are empowered with an independence to make decisions that will help provide an exceptional breakfast, brunch, or lunch experience for their customers. In fact, we like to say, we love our employees more than bacon. And that says a lot.

All employees are eligible for the following:
*FT Employees are eligible the first of the month after 60 days of employment and must enroll within 30 days of employment.
About The Position
Our Back-of-the-House team members have a mutual respect for quality food, and they perform their responsibilities as if placing a personal signature on every plate. Newly hired cooks will train in a specific station based on their comfort level & innate skill. In other words, you don’t need to master the art of flipping an egg to work at First Watch (unless you want to!).
Does this sound like you? Our Cooks (just to name a few):
First Watch is the leading Daytime Dining concept serving made-to-order breakfast, brunch and lunch using the freshest ingredients available. Guided by its “Follow the Sun” culinary philosophy, First Watch’s chef-driven menu rotates multiple times per year to feature the highest-quality flavors at their peak, offering elevated executions of classic favorites, fresh juices like the Kale Tonic, and fan favorites such as the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Quinoa Power Bowl and signature Million Dollar Bacon. For every kid’s meal served, First Watch proudly donates a portion to organizations and causes making a positive impact to our communities – raising approximately $2.0 million to date. A recipient of many “Best Breakfast” and “Best Brunch” awards, First Watch was voted #1 Best Breakfast by Newsweek’s Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, and also named 2025 and 2024’s #1 Most Loved Workplace in America by the Best Practice Institute – an accolade most recently featured in The Wall Street Journal – after appearing on the list in 2022 and 2023, as well. With a commitment to quality, hospitality and community, First Watch is redefining Daytime Dining across more than 630 First Watch restaurants in 32 states. For more information, visit www.firstwatch.com.
First Watch is an equal opportunity employer. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, First Watch will provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities and encourages both prospective and current employees to discuss potential accommodations with the employer.
Making Days Brighter with a fresh approach to breakfast, brunch and lunch
At First Watch, you’re the reason we wake up at the crack of dawn, ready to make your day that much brighter. We greet the sunrise by slicing and juicing the freshest fruits and vegetables, whipping up our French toast batter from scratch and brewing pots of our award-winning, single-origin Project Sunrise coffee. Freshness is never comprised, which is why we welcome each season into our menu with ingredients and flavors inspired by the position of the sun. This authenticity is what guides not only our sourcing and menu, but also our relationships with the communities we serve. From holding the door to just being kind, we’re committed to serving you with care, openness and intention. It’s all part of our "YOU FIRST®" mission — putting people first and doing whatever it takes to make your visit memorable. Whether you start at the crack of dawn or not, well, we’ll leave that up to you! Want to greet the sunrise with us as part of our team? We’re serious brunch people, so when we say we love our people more than bacon, you know we mean it. We put our employees first, so they, in turn, put our customers first – because our award-winning culture is always on the menu. We’re opening restaurants all over the country, which means as we grow, so do you, with even more opportunities for advancement. The best part? No Nights Ever. Our team works side-by-side during one shift only, so you can leave when the sun’s still up, every day. Start your career with us at careers.firstwatch.com.
