Join the Salted Melon Team!

Salted Melon Market & Eatery is a place to start, spend, and end the day. Our all-day menu is the heart of it — breakfast and lunch favorites, salads, bowls, sandwiches and wraps, alongside coffee and espresso, smoothies, and house-baked goods, served morning, noon, and night.

The vibe starts with our team

Hospitality is the part of this business we care most about getting right, and it shows up in the small things — learning a guest's name and their order, taking time to answer a real question about the menu, treating a regular and a first-timer with the same warmth. We hear it constantly in our reviews: guests come back for the food, but they tell their friends about our teams.

That food is made from scratch, with fresh, natural ingredients and real knife work behind it. If you want a kitchen where you actually cook, move at a real pace, and put out food you would be glad to eat yourself, this is that room.

Who we are looking for

We need enthusiastic, hardworking, knowledgeable people across every role — front of house, kitchen, espresso bar, bakery, and management. The ones who thrive here genuinely like people, move fast without dropping their standards, know the menu cold, and jump in for a teammate without being asked.

Restaurant experience is a plus, not a requirement. We hire for attitude and train for skill.

What you get from us

Hands-on training from day one. Managers who work the floor next to you. Real room to grow — several of our leaders started in entry-level roles. Schedules that respect your life outside of work. Shift meals and team discounts.
