What it is like to work here
Cedar House builds rooms where regulars know the team, leaders are visible on the floor, and polished service stays human. The group hires for steadiness, coachability, and shift ownership instead of short-term patchwork labor.
Managers here are expected to coach in motion, protect the guest experience, and still leave the team stronger at the end of the shift. New leaders get direct access to ownership during ramp-up.
The hiring bar is simple: calm under pressure, real guest instinct, and the ability to raise standards without raising chaos. Training quality matters as much as technical skill.
- Managers have real ownership over labor, coaching, and guest recovery.
- New leaders get direct support from ownership during the first 90 days.
- Teams are built around retention, not constant replacement.
- Neighborhood hospitality favorite in two Chicago markets
- Known for high regular-guest retention and polished service training
- Posted pay ranges on active roles with honest interview follow-through
- Structured first-90-day support for new leaders
- Dining privileges and team family meal support
- Visible promotion path into training and management roles
Front-of-house and management roles publish pay ranges on each opening. Lead and manager roles are paired with bonus or advancement expectations so candidates know what growth looks like before they interview.
Strong floor leaders can move into shift lead, service manager, training captain, and new-store support responsibilities as the group expands.
