Barback


Description
Curry Up Now started in 2009 with a single food truck roaming the streets of Burlingame, CA. With great success and an amazing team behind us, we’ve since expanded to three food trucks, a full catering operation, seven brick & mortar restaurants in the Bay Area, two craft cocktail bars and have started franchising across the United States and now locations open in Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Hoboken, Irvine, Sacramento, and many more in development in nearly every major region of the country.

Even though we have great plans to continually expand in the future, we’re still a small company and will always be a small company at heart. This means our people aren’t a faceless number to us.
