Line Cook - The Remedy Dog Bar

The Remedy Dog Bar is a hybrid restaurant, bar, and supervised dog social yard (“The Doggio”). We operate as a team-based, shared tip-pool environment where all staff assist guests, dogs, and each other. All employees are cross-trained and may support front-of-house, back-of-house, and Doggio operations based on volume and daily needs.

We are not just serving food - we are managing a social environment for both people and dogs.

Employees should expect a fast-paced setting combining elements of full-service dining, quick-service efficiency, and animal care supervision.
