lunch everyday Commuter Benefits Opportunities for GROWTH ABOUT US:
At Dig Food Group, we're building a better food system for everyone
by sourcing, cooking and serving delicious food everyday. Nine
years in, we've grown to more than 30 fast-casual Dig restaurants,
opened our first full-service restaurant, 232 Bleecker, partnered
with 130 farms including our own Dig Acres, and taught thousands of
people how to cook (really cook) in our kitchens. To do this, we've
built direct and real relationships with farmers. We don't just
name check them on our menus -- we're true partners in their
businesses. We focus on farmers who are independent, first-timers,
women, immigrants, LGBTQ and people of color. These relationships
allow us to get the best ingredients all year round and change our
menu based on what is growing in the fields. Each restaurant is run
by a chef and all our food is cooked on site. There are no
microwaves, can openers or freezers, just an entire culinary team
at every location, cooking vegetables all day. This requires
training a whole generation of chefs and cooks from the ground up,
including many who have never worked in a restaurant before. Knife
skills are life skills. We're not here to disrupt anything or
become a platform. We run our business on good food and great
people. From sourcing to serving, our mission is to create a better
food system for everyone. That means a world where farmers can make
a living growing food, anyone can learn to cook, and we can all eat
well, together. DIG believes in the power of a shared table to
bring people together as we are committed to building a culturally
inclusive team. Diverse candidates encouraged to apply Additional
