If so, Culver's of Prescott invites you to join a workplace where hospitality, teamwork, and attention to detail are at the heart of everything we do.

This position is a morning shift and starts at 5:00 AM. Reliable, early-morning availability is required.

Why Join Culver's of Prescott?

At Culver's of Prescott, we embrace our mission:


"We genuinely care so that every guest who chooses Culver's leaves happy."


You'll be part of a team built on our IDEAL core values:

  • Integrity: We take pride in doing the right thing-caring for our guests, maintaining high standards, and correcting mistakes.
  • Discipline: We follow structured routines and procedures to ensure consistent, high-quality results.
  • Excellence: We don't cut corners-we ensure every cleaning, stocking, and maintenance task meets Culver's standards.
  • Alignment: We work together toward our shared mission of creating the best guest experience.
  • Leadership: We take initiative and hustle to support the team.

We're not just offering a job-we're offering a career path with opportunities for personal, professional, and financial growth.

About the Role

As a Restaurant Porter, you are responsible for ensuring the restaurant is clean, stocked, and operating efficiently.

  • Maintain clean parking lot, sidewalks, and landscaping; remove snow/ice as needed
  • Restock cleaning supplies, paper goods, and kitchen necessities
  • Support the team by keeping everything organized and guest-ready

Note: This is not a skilled maintenance or technician position. Applicants with HVAC, electrical, or trade certifications may not find this role aligned with their expertise. This is a cleaning and support-based role designed to keep our restaurant environment running smoothly.

You'll Succeed in This Role If You:
  • Take pride in physical work and maintaining a clean, organized space
  • Show up on time and ready to contribute every day
  • Stay on task and work well independently
  • Thrive in a fast-paced environment and stay cool under pressure
  • Have a teachable attitude and willingness to grow
Physical Requirements:
  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs
  • Comfortable bending, carrying, and standing for long periods
  • Able to work outdoors in a variety of weather conditions
  • Must be available to work early mornings with a regular start time of 5:00 AM
What We Offer
  • Competitive wages
  • Paid on-the-job training
  • Free uniforms
  • Free discounts
  • Career growth opportunities
  • A supportive team environment
Our Vision for the Future
  • Brand Vision: Delivering Culver's hospitality and exceptional service to new communities, offering more guests the chance to discover delicious and memorable experiences.
  • People Vision: We're committed to empowering driven, dedicated leaders with ownership opportunities and fostering the growth of hundreds of future leaders over the next decade
  • Financial Vision: Building a thriving network of businesses that fuel growth and create opportunities for everyone involved-helping team members, leaders, and partners achieve their personal, professional, and financial goals.
