Us

Burrito Bear is bringing Denver-style breakfast burritos to New York City. We're a new fast-casual, grab-and-go concept focused on great food, fast service, and genuine hospitality.

Thus we are launching a modern, fast-casual, grab-and-go concept focused on high-quality ingredients and specialty items brought from Colorado — delivered with hospitality and exceptional operational execution with a genuine story. This is not an established corporate restaurant with years of systems already in place. It is an opportunity to help build a flagship concept from day one and be part of an ambitious team that has the experience and expertise to grow into a multi-unit brand. 

We're building our opening team and looking for friendly, energetic, dependable people who want to help us create something great from day one.

You will not be left in the fire to simply figure it out. Our goal is to ensure that you’re provided a structure that sets you up for success and supports you in the most stressful needed areas. These systems will take time to develop and solidify properly. Our goal is to provide guidance and presence every step of the way. 

We are looking for reliable and hardworking Line Cooks to join our kitchen team. You will be responsible for preparing and cooking food according to recipes, quality standards, and proper food-safety procedures with our brand new modern equipment, pre-programed for consistency and ease of use. The ideal candidate works well in a fast-paced environment,

communicates effectively with fellow team members, takes pride in producing consistent,

high-quality food and also has fun while doing it.
