WORK ENVIRONMENT:
Here are a few sayings that define what we care most about…
Hi-Pointe was founded to create a better, more authentic take on a stagnant food category…and so far, it's working. We believe that success is inevitable by focusing on the things that matter most.
Honored Hospitality – We don't take the privilege of service for granted. We're thankful every time you set foot in our mothership or just take home some tasty burgs. We show it. And that's what hospitality smells like.
People First – If you take care of people that take care of people, they will take care of people. We take pride in helping our people achieve their goals now and in the future.
Chef-Driven – Great good doesn't just start in the kitchen. Having the foresight to source the right purveyors and partners and providing culinary leadership is what you're tasting.
The Assistant General Manager must understand what it takes to manage and build a people-first business while having the discipline to maintain a thriving operation.
