Description: Atomic Cowboy Centennial — home of Denver Biscuit Company & Fat Sully’s Pizza — is hiring a Host/Expo! 

Our mission is simple - Growth: Careers, Wallets, Waistlines. 

We are a high-volume, scratch-made restaurant group with big energy, high standards, and a team-first culture. We care about doing things right, taking care of guests, and working with people who give a damn.

Simple — we don’t suck. Your voice matters. Your ideas are heard. And you’ll work alongside people who genuinely care about what they do, and who they do it with.

• Show Me the Money: Weekly Pay! 
• Feed Your Soul: Free shift meals + Employee discounts for you and your people.
• Health & Balance: Medical, dental, vision, and voluntary benefits + Paid sick leave & PHE leave (per Colorado law).

• Future: Huge opportunities to help open new restaurants and grow your career.

We hire for and recognize, reward, and grow the people who live our core values. This isn't corporate fine print—it's how we run our shifts, look out for each other, and win together:

• Caring - Put People First: We care deeply about our guests, our teammates, and the work we do. This means noticing guest needs before they ask and jumping in to help a teammate when the line gets slammed.
• Gritty - Show Passion and Perseverance: We bring serious determination to our work. We show up prepared, dependable, and ready to dominate a busy shift. 
• Genuine - Communicate with Authenticity: We talk straight and treat everyone with respect. We speak openly with leaders and peers, and we give and receive constructive feedback so we can all get better.
• Humble - Learn, Support, and Grow: We leave egos at the door and treat mistakes as opportunities to learn. We focus on collective team success rather than personal spotlight.
• Inclusive - Make Everyone Feel Welcome: We value every single person. We treat every guest and coworker with total dignity, ensuring a welcoming, zero-pretension environment where everyone can thrive.
• Gracious - Lead with Kindness and Courtesy: We lead with kindness, even when it's chaotic. We stay calm, patient, and solution-focused when the pressure is on, keeping it professional at all times.
• Honest - Do the Right Thing: We act with integrity, plain and simple. We do the right thing and accurately follow our shift, timekeeping, and safety procedures—even when no one is watching.

A Note on How We Coach: We don't expect perfection, but we do expect effort. We use these 7 traits every day to coach our teams, celebrate wins, and adjust behaviors when we miss the mark.
