About You: You are a health-conscious chef or restauranteur with a business-oriented mind, a knack for numbers and a connection to herbal medicine, nutrition, and wellness.

You are equally as excited to help take orders at the register, discuss menu items with customers, assemble food orders, and steward a warm, welcoming atmosphere while maintaining a clean, organized workspace and lobby. You have a strong track record of general cafe or restaurant management and you’re comfortable managing a team in a manner that supports our values and culture. You’re invested in successfully translating The Well’s vision into practical application, and can skillfully juggle the many different things that make this possible. You have the energy and creativity to play a key part in ensuring our cafe is a living, thriving place that nurtures our Bay Area community for years to come.
