CookJoin the Team at Rosie's Pasta Bar
At Rosie's, we're building more than another restaurant. We're building a team that believes serving people should be enjoyable, meaningful, and done with excellence.
If you take pride in craftsmanship, enjoy working with urgency, and believe every plate should be prepared as if you were serving your own family, we'd love to meet you.
Our Purpose
To make world-class pasta and sandwiches as easy, casual, and fun as a cup of coffee.
Everything we do supports this purpose. Every ingredient. Every recipe. Every plate.
Our Values
Our Values describe how we carry ourselves while performing our jobs to achieve our Purpose.
Hard Work Don't Hurt
We stay busy, move with urgency, and never believe we're above any task.
Right Over Wrong
We choose integrity over convenience. We do what's right, even when it's difficult.
You Before Me
We choose to serve before being served. We put our guests first, support our teammates without hesitation, and look for opportunities to make someone else's day better before thinking about ourselves.
Giving is Fun
Serving others is a privilege. Whether helping a guest, encouraging a teammate, or simply making someone's day a little better, we believe giving is one of life's greatest rewards.
