About The Position

At Home Run Inn, we believe pizza should do more than fill you up—it should lift you up. For nearly 100 years, we've been bringing people together over authentic Chicago tavern-style pizza. Behind every great pizza is an incredible team, and behind every incredible teammate is a hiring experience that makes them feel welcomed from day one. We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys helping others, solving problems, and creating an employee experience that makes teammates feel welcomed, supported, and valued from their very first day, and every day after. If you're the kind of person who can confidently navigate employee relations one minute, celebrate a work anniversary the next, and still find time to improve a process before lunch, we'd love to meet you.
