Job Description

HomeGrown is different from any other restaurant job. We’ve taken the idea of everyday kindness and made a part of everything we do:

The Schedule : Off by at least 3:30pm every day you work

The Pay and Benefits : Making the same or better pay than traditional restaurant gigs, plus paid-time off, vision, dental and medical for full-time team members

The Culture : A work environment characterized by kindness, a welcoming spirit, teamwork and personal development.

If all that sounds desirable to you -- come join our team at HomeGrown : A Daytime Eatery. We’ll be Liberty’s hottest and busiest, breakfast/brunch place! We can’t wait to show the good people of Liberty what great breakfast/brunch experience is all about!

At HomeGrown we believe in ‘Local when it’s better’ – so we seek out and partner with local food purveyors, dairy farmers, bee hivers, etc. who share our commitment to freshness, quality, and community - even our tabletops and booths are made in KC! And we do it all while Cultivating Kindness – with the basic idea that being considerate, polite, and NICE matters just as much as serving great eggs and tasty bacon…
