Great food. Genuine hospitality. Really good people.

From the folks behind Bloom Bake Shop and Restaurant Lallande comes Waltzing Matilda’s, a new neighborhood spot shaped by a love of food, travel, and gathering around the table.

HOURS OF OPERATION ::  Tuesday through Sunday, 8am to 3pm.

Matilda’s comes alive in the mornings and rolls right through lunch. Coffee pouring, breakfast hitting the tables, a busy dining room, and plenty of good energy. We’re looking for people who love the rhythm of a bustling neighborhood restaurant and want to be part of building something new from the very beginning.

In December, Matilda’s will expand into the evenings as a neighborhood wine bar, with cocktails, beer, wine, and small plates.

Shifts vary from 4 hour, 6 and 8 hours. Must be able to commit to at least 16 hours/week.

Come Cook With Us

We’re looking for prep, line, and production cooks who care about great food and take pride in doing things well.

Depending on your experience and interests, your role may include:

  • Daily prep and mise en place
  • Working a station during service
  • Batch cooking and production
  • Following and scaling recipes
  • Cooking and plating dishes with consistency and care
  • Properly receiving, labeling, storing, and rotating ingredients
  • Keeping a clean, organized, and efficient kitchen
  • Jumping in wherever the team needs a hand

Experience is wonderful, but it isn’t everything. We’re looking for people who are curious, dependable, hardworking, and proud of what they do. People who care about ingredients, notice the details, and want to keep learning.

Pay: $17 to $22/hour, based on experience.

The Good Stuff

All team members enjoy:

  • Employee food discounts
  • Free birthday cake
  • Discounts at many Monroe Street businesses
  • 401(k) eligibility after 1,000 hours, with a 4% company match
  • Opportunities to learn and grow

We believe hospitality begins with how we treat one another. We care about the details. We stay curious. We work hard. We take care of people. And we do it together.

Waltzing Matilda’s is an equal opportunity employer committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome and has the opportunity to thrive.
