ABOUT US

Located in NoPa, Early to Rise is one of San Francisco's most loved brunch destinations, featuring an old-school menu, but with all of our major staples made in the house. We are proud to make all of our own breakfast meats (bacon, ham, sausage, etc.), breads (bagels, English muffins and so on) as well as butter, hot sauce, jam ... you name it.

Employees at Early to Rise are expected to work as a team, and be able to cover at least one other position in the restaurant as need arises. If hired, you will work Friday, Saturday and Sunday with our host and bartender to help keep those areas of the restaurant running smoothly.

We love seeing our team grow professionally, and invest in their growth when they demonstrate professionalism, steady improvement and natural hospitality.
