About Back of House Team Member Jobs in Minneapolis

Back of House Team Members in Minneapolis earn $14.70-$19.95/hr, above the national average.

Back of House (BOH) Team Members keep the kitchen and prep areas running so the front of house can serve guests on time. The role spans whatever the kitchen needs on a given shift - prep, expo, dishwashing, line support, restocking, and end-of-night deep clean. Most casual-dining and fast-casual chains hire BOH as a single role rather than splitting it into prep/cook/dish.

Most back of house team member positions in Minneapolis are available as temporary, part-time, or flexible shifts.
