Guest Retention Specialist (PT)

Calling All Foodies!

Company Introduction

At Salata, our concept is and will always be simple: your salad is what you make it. As a built-to-order salad kitchen with more than 50 fresh toppings, five salad bases, and a dozen house-made, gluten-free dressings, our guests can fully customize their salads and wraps precisely how they want with no restrictions. There are many other salad concepts like ours, but when you walk into a Salata, we want our guests to feel like they can do, be, and create anything they want—because they can.

We believe that when our human growth reflects the growth of our salad ingredients, we can all thrive together – as unique individuals and as one healthy community. Since our humble beginnings in 2005, our people have been the critical ingredient that has driven us forward from one restaurant in the downtown Houston tunnels to more than 90 corporate-owned and franchise locations across Texas, Georgia, Southern California, and Louisiana. With plans to open in multiple new markets, including Charlotte, NC, this salad kitchen is poised for growth and to push forward with our goal to share fresh, healthy food with all communities. We need enthusiastic, positive thinkers and self-starters to help us reach that goal.
