Essential Duties

Smoker Prep - Pitmaster Career Track

Turn Your Passion for BBQ into a Career

At Sonny's BBQ, great BBQ is more than a recipe-it's a craft.  We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, cares deeply about food quality, and wants to learn the business of BBQ from the pit up. This is not just another hourly kitchen position. You'll begin as a Smoker Prep team member, working hands-on with our BBQ and learning the standards, discipline, and operational knowledge required to protect the quality of every meal we serve.  For the right person, this position is the first step toward becoming a Pitmaster-a salaried leadership position with bonus potential and responsibility for food quality and food cost performance.

At Sonny's BBQ, we don't just hire great people-we invest in them. When you join the ACGBBQ family, you'll be part of a team that supports you, values your contributions, and helps you grow.

General Purpose: The Smoker Prep position is responsible for learning and mastering the craft of BBQ while helping protect the food quality, consistency, and standards of the restaurant.  Working closely with the General Manager and restaurant leadership team, you will take ownership of the preparation, smoking, handling, and quality of the BBQ coming from your location's pit.  You will learn to understand how proper preparation, yields, portioning, waste control, food safety, and pit management directly impact both the guest experience and the financial performance of the restaurant. This role is designed for someone who wants more than a job. We are looking for a dependable, driven individual who takes pride in their work, wants to develop their leadership and operational skills, and is interested in earning the opportunity to advance into our salaried Pitmaster position.
