  • Communicate clearly and respectfully with team members and front of house

  • Be flexible, take feedback, and pitch in wherever needed — we’re a team

Qualifications:

  • Prior kitchen experience strongly preferred

  • Ability to work efficiently in a small, open-kitchen environment

  • Must be able to lift 40 lbs and be on your feet for extended periods

  • Interest in cheese, seasonal cooking, and artisan food a big plus

Company Description

The Curd Nerd and The Wedge are sister businesses built around a love of cheese, community, and genuine hospitality. The Curd Nerd is a specialty cheese shop in Eastwood offering cut-to-order artisan cheeses, curated provisions, and expert guidance in a welcoming, down-to-earth setting. Just next door, The Wedge is our neighborhood cheese bar—an inviting space to gather over thoughtful plates, great drinks, and of course, incredible cheese. Together, we’re creating spaces that celebrate craftsmanship, support local makers, and make good food more accessible, more fun, and more connected to the people around it.
