Grunts and today, thanks to the creativity of our partners, we proudly service guests at more than 60 concepts ranging from fast casual to fine dining restaurants.

We’re proud to offer a Culture of Caring that encompasses a commitment to growth, inclusivity and training.

We offer a competitive benefits package (we know that’s an important part of where you choose to work), because happy, healthy teams take better care of each other and their guests. If you share our passion for hospitality and you’re looking for an evolving, dynamic company – then take a look at Lettuce! We’d like to hear from you. EOE. E-Verify.
