Careers
901 Electric Drive · Austin
We are a small crew running a wood-fired trailer seven days a week. We hire for personality first.
Technique can be taught. Caring about the person at the window cannot. What we do best is great spontaneous hospitality, and that starts with whoever is standing there when somebody walks up.
Two roles. Which one is you?
Trailer Crew
Full & part timeAustin, TXOn siteThe front of the operation. You are the person people talk to, and on a small crew that means you are also the person doing whatever else needs doing. Everyone learns every station. Nobody stays in one place.
The hardest part of this job is not the tasks. It is holding two things at once when it gets busy: supporting the cook and the line so food keeps moving, while keeping the people waiting relaxed and looked after. Bread is baked to order, so there is always a wait. Whether that wait feels like anticipation or frustration is almost entirely down to you.
Taking orders at the window and talking to regulars
Line prep and portioning
Assembly and handoff at the pickup window
Dishes, restocking, keeping the trailer clean
Running product and supplies to and from our commercial kitchen
No restaurant experience needed. You do need to stay steady when it is busy, and to be the kind of person who notices what needs doing before anyone asks.
Cook
Full timeAustin, TXOn siteThe cooking role. You run the line, you learn the fire, and you handle production work that never touches the window. This is the job that leads somewhere.
The single thing that matters most here is staying cool under pressure. A wood oven does not wait for you, tickets come in faster than they go out, and the whole trailer moves at the speed of whoever is on the line. If a rush makes you sharper rather than rattled, this is your job.
Working the line through service
Cooking, and learning to read and manage a 600-degree wood oven
Handoff at the pickup window when the line allows
Prep and production in our commercial kitchen
Building catering orders
Some kitchen experience helps, but what matters more is wanting to get good at this specific thing. A live wood fire is not a machine with a dial. It changes through the day and it takes months of paying attention. Lucky has been at it sixteen years and still watches every bake.
What we look for in both
Cool under pressure
Rushes happen. The oven is hot, the line is full, and there are people watching you work. We need people who get steadier when it speeds up, not tighter.
Personality
You like people. You remember faces. You would rather have a real conversation at the window than get through the line faster.
Willingness to learn
Prep, portioning, assembly, timing, the fire. You want to get better at it, not just get through the shift.
Room to grow
We are building something bigger than one trailer. Every person we hire should have the potential to run a location one day. If that is what you want, tell us.
What you get
Real training on a live fire from someone who learned it in Puglia. A small team where what you do is visible. Food on shift. And a path, if you want one, that does not end at this trailer.
