Why Ian's Pizza?

• Base Wage + Excellent Tips: You'll earn a $12.50/hour base wage, which bumps up to $13/hour after initial training. Your tips will be paid out at the end of your shift, and average $3-$7/hour additional, depending on shift and location. We also add $1/hour for any time worked after 11pm and and time worked on Sundays.
• Excellent Benefits: Premium and affordable health and dental care, IRA retirement benefits with match, PTO accrual after the first year, profit-sharing, flexible schedules, free pizza, and more.
• Inclusive Culture: Join a diverse and inclusive team committed to the Big Five Code of Conduct: Dependability, Awareness, Connection, Generosity, and Effort.
• Off-site and Catering Opportunities: We do a lot of events outside of our restaurant locations. Working these events adds some variety to your work, and the tips at off-site and catering events are extraordinarily great (seriously, anywhere from $5-$20/hour additional just in tips)! Our biggest locations for offsites are the baseball stadium, Summerfest, and Panther Arena.

Cook Job Duties and Expectations

You're going to cook A LOT of pizzas. You'll hand-stretch dough, work the ovens, and top and finish pizzas. Occasionally a cook helps with prep or Front of House (FOH) as needed, but for the most part, the job is making pizzas and helping with stocking, cleaning, and opening/closing tasks. You'll be working with a great team, and so you'll be well supported, even in our busiest moments. The tips will have you "rolling in the dough"!

Cook Job Requirements

• Be able to bend, crouch, and lift 20-50 lbs.
• Be able to use ovens, pizza cutters, and other equipment of the business.

Cook Scheduling

9-5 is a Dolly Parton song, not a job at Ian's! Opening shifts typically start 1-2 hours before opening time, and closing shifts typically end 1-2 hours after closing time. Our restaurants are most busy on evenings and weekends! Availability for these shifts is required.

Part-time (anything less than 30 hours a week) or full-time (30-40 hours a week) hours are available. Work-life balance is important to us, so our flexible scheduling allows you to work around your other commitments.
