Careers
Cooks | Bellecour is built around the philosophy that everyone in the organization shares in the experience of growing a company. We wouldn’t be as successful as we are today if we didn’t allow our employees to have a voice in what we do. That’s why we foster an environment where everyone is encouraged to speak their minds and get involved.
We’re a small organization, much like a tight-knit family and we’re always evolving. We are continually looking to add new, qualified members to our team, whether it’s class assistants for our cooking schools, barista/sales associates in our stores, or a new member for our administrative team. We look forward to hearing from you~
