Job Description


About Chai Pani

Chai Pani is an Indian Street Food restaurant that began as a humble, 50 seat restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina in 2009. We’ve since grown to a much larger space in Asheville and opened Chai Panis in Atlanta, GA and Washington, DC, along with 4 locations of our fast-casual concept, Botiwalla. Chai Pani is the recipient of the James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant in 2022, and has received six other nominations. We've also received a Zagat award, and multiple publications in Bon Appetit, Saveur, Food & Wine, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, Southern Living, USA Today, and were one of Oprah's Favorite things.

Chai Pani is slang in India for going out for a cup of tea, a tasty bite, a snack, or “a little something.” For us, it means groundbreaking, fun, affordable, and delicious Indian street food, paired with a passion for making people happy and building connections through good food and compassionate hospitality.

If this sounds like a journey you want to take with us - providing extraordinary hospitality and changing the perception of Indian cuisine in America - we are currently accepting applications.

 

Position Summary: As a Line Cook at Chai Pani, you’ll bring bold flavors to life with consistency, care, and creativity. You’ll work in a fast-paced, high-energy kitchen where every movement matters, from precise prep to final plating. You’ll take pride in your station, hold yourself to high standards, and collaborate with a team that values growth, feedback, and excellence. Most importantly, you’ll help deliver food that brings people joy and makes them feel at home.

 

What we this role offers:

  • The chance to work with a James Beard Award–winning restaurant group and Chef
  • Flexibility, camaraderie, and a culture where your voice matters
  • Growth, mentorship, and a community that values excellence and care
  • Exposure to a vibrant and distinct Indian street food story and menu

 

What you offer:

  • A growth mindset, and a commitment to upholding a culture of excellence, love and care
  • A team-first attitude and a drive to go above and beyond for guests and coworkers alike
  • Attention to detail and respect for systems
  • A love of learning and willingness to contribute to a culture of feedback in the pursuit of excellence

Benefits:

  • Medical, dental, vision, disability, dependent care FSA, and supplemental life insurance (full-time team members)
  • Company paid life insurance (full and part-time team members)
  • Flexible work schedules
  • Paid sick days
  • Free shift meals
  • Employee discount on merch, Spicewalla products, and all of our other restaurant locations in Asheville, Charlotte & Atlanta
  • Cash advance program
  • Opportunity to apply to annual staff trip to India after 1 year of employment 

 

Our Mission
Giving back is at the heart of Chai Pani's mission. We make a difference when and where we can — from supporting educational programs in Mumbai, to feeding the homeless with dignity, and within our own walls by offering competitive pay, flexible schedules, and benefits that support work-life harmony.

Join our team and help us build something truly special in D.C.!
