Expediter

Union Joints•Clarkston, MI

About The Position

Our kitchen takes something from one culinary continent and smashes it into another: Latin food that speaks with an Asian accent. Conceived at the markets and landing here on Main Street. Running out of a old mechanic’s station, combining two separately functioning garages to create our restaurant and Coffeehouse. Business bustles inside and out along the downtown Clarkston strip. Patrons can pop in for house-roasted and brewed pour-over coffee, pastries and juices while others saddle up to the bar for full kitchen service, drinks and margarita sloshies. The main restaurant dining room offers table, booth or counter seating for full lunch and dinner service or to grab a taco and a sack of homemade donuts hot out of the fryer. Competitive pay and benefits including medical and supplemental insurance, on-demand pay, referral bonus, 401(k) and PTO!
