Join a Different Kind of Kitchen
At Haute Dawgz, we don't make ordinary hot dogs.
We craft gourmet sausages from whole primal cuts with no fillers, nitrates, or preservatives, serving elevated street food inspired by Michelin-level techniques and hospitality. Every sausage is handmade, every burger is ground in-house, and every guest experience matters.
We're looking for someone who takes pride in their craft, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants to be part of a growing culinary brand with big ambitions.
If you believe consistency, cleanliness, speed, and hospitality are just as important as flavor, we'd love to meet you.

- Prepare and cook our signature gourmet sausages, smash burgers, and seasonal menu items.
- Execute recipes with consistency and attention to detail.
- Maintain Michelin-inspired standards of cleanliness, organization, and presentation.

- Prepare ingredients, sauces, and mise en place.
- Monitor product quality throughout service.
- Ensure all food is cooked to proper temperatures and specifications.
- Maintain inventory and communicate prep needs.
