Culinary Team Leader

City Brew Hall is located in the heart of downtown Wahpeton, ND, and operates inside a beautifully restored historic city hall building. We’re a family-owned business with four other restaurants in nearby communities, each with its own distinct personality. At City Brew Hall, we specialize in made-from-scratch bar food with a creative twist—think burgers, sandwiches, and elevated pub plates—served in a warm, welcoming space that brings people together for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch.

Our mission across all Brew Restaurants is to create meaningful careers in the culinary and hospitality industry. We believe in helping our team thrive, and to us, thriving means:

• A good work/life balance: We offer PTO to all full-time employees, a work week schedule with 2 consecutive days off, and strive to keep management hours between 40-50/week.


• Prioritizing your Physical Health: We offer and contribute 50% to health care insurance to all of our full-time employees. And also offer optional Vision, Dental, Life & Supplemental (all insurance is optional and available to employee's partner and dependents as well). Our health care plan also comes with a Physical Fitness reimbursement. 


• Prioritizing your Mental Health: Access to free Mental Health & Counseling Services through our Employee Assistance Program. Employees and their household members have free access to counseling services including mental health, financial, relationship, work mediation, and more.


• Opportunities for career growth through training & education. 


• Opportunities for advancement: We have 3 other concepts (Fargo & EGF)  and we love to promote people from within our company!
