Company description

We are inspired by two parallel street food traditions: the Chicago hot dog stand and the South Asian chaat stall. The creative direction positions Chaat Dog as a natural extension of both: an American street food story shaped by diaspora, memory, and lived experience.

Job description

About the role

Chaat Dog is an emerging business, and we are looking for a foundational team member who is ready to grow with us. We aren't just looking for someone to stand behind a register, we are looking for a proactive, resourceful partner who is excited by the challenge of a fast-paced, "startup" environment.

As a Cashier & Team Member, you will be the face of Chaat Dog. You'll handle customer interactions with energy, and when needed, youll jump in to assist with basic food prep and organization. Because we are an evolving business, you will have the unique opportunity to help us create the systems and "ways of doing things" that don't even exist yet.

Punctuality: You understand that being on time is the first step to success.

Relentless Drive: You are determined to succeed and help the business win.
Attention to Detail: You notice the small things that make a big difference for our customers.
True Presence: You actually want to be here and are excited to contribute to our mission.

The "Startup" Factor: Be willing to take on new challenges and tasks as the business grows and changes.

Proactivity: You see what needs to be done and you do it.
Patience & Resilience: You understand that an emerging business requires hard work and a positive attitude through "growing pains. " Reliability: You are consistent and dependable.
Flexibility: Comfortable switching between customer service and light kitchen prep.

Why Join Chaat Dog?
