Line Cook

The Great Greek was founded by two third-generation restauranteurs with more than 30 years in the food and hospitality business. Like anyone who loves truly good food, their favorite childhood memories were those spent with family and friends, crowded around a table for a meal made with care and love. That tradition remains today with the same recipes passed down from generation to generation and prepared with the spirit of authentic Mediterranean hospitality where everyone is welcome.

As a member of The Great Greek Family, you'll enjoy a fun, fast-paced work environment in one of the fastest-growing franchises in the United States.
