  • First principles thinking : We keep asking "why" like a 4-year-old and never accept the status quo. We are truth seekers. We reason from fundamental truths in order to invent new ways to delight guests.
  • Operate at the lowest level of detail : We solve problems at the lowest level of detail e.g. by going to the kitchen. We measure everything and win arguments with data. We don't use sloppy thinking.
  • Relentless : We outwork everyone, it's our most controllable competitive advantage. We don't get knocked down when things are tough.
  • Drive for excellence : We are intrinsically motivated and strive to get 1% better every day.

  • Play with joy : We bring joy to work every day. We support each other with contagious energy and optimism. We choose to have fun even when it feels like a grind.
  • Compensation ranges from $70,000 - $95,000 DOE, with competitive monthly bonus potential. Additionally, we offer enticing equity ownership.
