Busser

About the role

HomeGrown is different from any other restaurant job. We’ve taken the idea of everyday kindness and made a part of everything we do. We are Omaha's newest, hottest, and busiest, breakfast/brunch place! Come join our restaurant team and help us show the good people of Northwest Arkansas what a great breakfast/brunch experience is all about!

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! 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…

We are part of Thrive Restaurant Group, a family-owned restaurant company that’s been in business for over 50 years. We are committed to making a difference in the lives of the people we serve and the communities in which we live.
