Is there anything better than opening a new restaurant?
Being a part of something meaningful and important for a community, and bringing joy to people's lives is what we are so very passionate about, and we believe there is no feeling quite like doing that work as a member of an opening team. We are thrilled to be forming such a team for our newest restaurant opening in early December, Wildland.
Wildland is an all-day restaurant, bar and bakery inspired by the natural landscape and vibrant community of North County, celebrating the creative culture of California by bringing bold ideas to timeless traditions. Located in Carlsbad Village, right down the street from our other two restaurants, Campfire and Jeune et Jolie, and a few blocks from the ocean, we created Wildland as our ideal restaurant for the every day.
When we started working on this project three years ago, we asked ourselves, what all-day restaurant do we wish already existed? What could we imagine? Well, of course there would be super delicious food, but food that you could get quickly. We wouldn’t want reservations, no barriers to entry, just show up whenever you wanted, with however many people you wanted. It would need to have an in-house bakery, wood-fired pizza, fresh pasta and rotisserie chicken, and of course feature produce from some of our favorite local farms. It would need those things simply because we love all of those things. We would also want a large central bar, but without any seating, to encourage the social interaction that is missing from so many bars these days, allowing guests to just stroll in and pony up for a quick drink, or hang for as long as they wanted. We would want massive speakers to pump out a vibe, playing records from artists like Townes Van Zandt, Lou Reed, Stereophonics, Bonnie Rait, and maybe even a little Womack & Womack. And it would have a lot of seating, indoors and out. Oh, and a massive coastal oak tree outside. That would be cool. Most of all, it would be a welcoming place for the neighborhood, a place where we would want to spend time with our friends, our colleagues, our families. Any time of day, from breakfast to dinner. We liked that idea a lot. So that’s what we made.
Wildland definitely is an ambitious project, and it deserves an incredible team. So we are looking for people who are joyful, reliable, curious, passionate, and ready to show up every day for each other and for our guests, ensuring that the time every person spends with us, is time well-spent.
We believe that there is dignity, purpose and meaning in the work we do, and that our employees should be well-compensated for bringing their talents, joy and desire to the restaurant each and every day. Therefore, we strive to provide competitive wages, benefits, opportunities for growth, and thoughtful leadership, reflecting the value we place on our team.
