Our Snooze Story
We are Snooze, the OG brunch leaders who have never stopped flipping the script on breakfast, powered by culinary creativity, unmatched hospitality, and a passion for our communities. Our Snoozers bring their authentic selves to work every day.  This allows us to serve our Guests through genuine care and radical hospitality.

Joining Snooze means joining a team that disrupts the ordinary. Our menu is built on responsibly sourced ingredients—cage-free eggs, respect for animal welfare, and no added hormones or antibiotics—and bold ideas that energize Snoozers and Guests alike. Our impact goes beyond the plate, we’ve invested over $1M into local communities and created inclusive, vibrant spaces for the neighborhoods we serve.

We know that, just like pancakes, our people are better with passion, purpose, and pride. Here, you’ll find more than a job. You’ll find a place to fuel your future, be celebrated for who you are, and help us make mornings brighter, bolder, and better for everyone. Will you join us?
