Description

Starbird Chicken is a modern, Bay Area-born concept serving Positively Delicious Chicken in a vibrant environment. Starbird’s mission is to inspire excellence in the relentless pursuit of deliciousness. To achieve this mission, we create food people can feel good about eating, including delicious salads, crispy tenders, sandwiches and more. To provide the ultimate convenience for our guests, we offer a best in class omni-channel technology experience. Starbird is one of few restaurant concepts to launch with a full technology platform, including a proprietary mobile app and website with online ordering. Starbird has quickly grown from our original location in Sunnyvale to several Bay Area and Los Angeles locations. We are growing rapidly, and we’ll be adding an additional 5 locations in both the Bay Area and Southern California this year. To help fuel this growth, we are looking for hospitable and enthusiastic people to join our movement.
