Job Description

Walkers’ Bar & Market is a new central Dallas neighborhood restaurant, sandwich shop, and market built around the personalities and values of its namesake, and experienced through Intentional Hospitality. The restaurant is upbeat, stylish, and sophisticated with elevated European-American cuisine, classic cocktails, and dynamic wine program focused on classic regions and grape varieties while embracing the reality that we’re living in a uniquely exciting time to drink wine. Adjacent to the restaurant is a bustling sandwich counter, chic wine shop, and quaint upscale market.

Every detail of how we operate is intentional and constantly refined. Members of the Kitchen team should be adaptable with the understanding that the menu will change seasonally. Intentional Hospitality extends beyond the dining room and applies to our kitchen operations as well. Everything we do is intentional, from the way that we organize our stations to the way that we plate our food.

We cook food that’s honest, direct, and full of flavor. Nothing is overworked or there to simply impress. Every ingredient serves a purpose, and every plate should feel grounded, thoughtful, and alive. We operate with urgency, but not chaos. Clean, organized, and deliberate – because that’s how you respect the craft and the people around you. We don’t chase trends or hide behind technique. We focus on execution, consistency, and flavor above everything else.
