About the Role

HomeGrown is different from any other restaurant job. We've taken the idea of everyday kindness and made it part of everything we do. We'll be Liberty's hottest and busiest breakfast/brunch place, and we can't wait to show the good people of Liberty what a great breakfast/brunch experience is all about. This is our fifth restaurant (come check us out in Brookside!) and we've been around since 2017. We are part of Thrive Restaurant Group, a family-owned restaurant company that's been in business for over 50 years.

The Culture

A work environment characterized by kindness, a welcoming spirit, teamwork and personal development. 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. We are committed to making a difference in the lives of the people we serve and the communities in which we live.
