“At Revival Chili, we think outside the pot”
Passion is our gasoline. In order to keep our tank full, we are not only passionate about serving chili to our amazing customers, but we are also passionate about serving the communities in which we live. Thus it is our mission to hire men and women in need of a fair chance at work but currently face barriers to employment, such as homelessness, previous incarceration, lack of experience, etc.
We promise to foster the personal growth and professional development of each new employee by providing the following benefits:
Competitive wages and tips: most new food service employees are paid the U.S. minimum wage, which is $7.25 an hour. Entry level employees of Revival Chili start at $12.00 an hour.
Professional Development: our goal is to have each employee of Revival Chili become certified food safety managers. We also provide entrepreneurial training and education for employees interested in starting their own food truck or business.
Scheduled raises: each employee has the opportunity to earn up to a $3.00 raise after their first 6 months should they demonstrate adequate workplace knowledge.
Support during Crisis: Provided means to medical professionals during COVID-19 through local sponsors. If you are interested in supporting, get more information here (Revival Relief).
