  1. Opportunities for personal and professional growth

 

At Truluck’s, growth isn’t just a possibility — it’s expected, encouraged, and celebrated. Many of our leaders began in entry-level roles, proving that hard work and passion can take you anywhere. “I never thought I would be able to move up in positions to become a server, but the company had confidence in me and offered me the opportunity. It was the best decision I ever made.” – Mario R., Server, Truluck’s Naples

There’s always something more to learn at Truluck’s — and always someone willing to teach you everything they know. It’s the supportive, collaborative culture and endless opportunities for growth that keep our employees coming back day after day, year after year.

 

In fact, some of our team members have been with us since we opened our very first restaurant in 1992, and many people here have worked their way up from entry-level to leadership positions.

 

“There was something about the culture and quality here that resonated with me, and I knew it was where I wanted to be. From pantry cook to executive chef, my journey here has been a testament to hard work, passion, and perseverance,” says Dominique J., Executive Chef at Truluck’s Austin.

“Working at Truluck’s has definitely been life changing,” says Tambra T., General Manager at Truluck’s Plano. “They have given me opportunities I could not imagine, and I cannot express my gratitude.”

 

“Recognition here isn’t transactional — it’s thoughtful. Whether it’s a sincere “thank you” from leadership, being asked for input on something that matters, or seeing your hard work reflected in a guest’s experience, Truluck’s makes you feel seen,” says Chef Thomas D., Corporate Executive Chef, Truluck’s Restaurant Group

 

From hands-on training to mentorship, Truluck’s provides the tools, education, and opportunities that can propel your career to the next level. This is a place where hard work is rewarded and where talent can flourish, and you too can thrive here.

  1. A chance to create remarkable experiences every day

 

Being able to create something meaningful and memorable for our guests, alongside teammates who support and inspire you, that’s what makes working at Truluck’s so special.

 

“Remarkable? That’s a feeling,” says Truluck’s Beverage Director Dave Mattern. “It’s what happens when every detail is considered. Every gesture is thoughtful. Every guest — and every teammate — feels seen and celebrated.”

 

“My favorite part about going to work is walking into the dining room and hearing whispers of memories being made, and knowing that they chose and trusted Truluck’s to help create that,” says Tambra T.

 

“It’s so rewarding,” says Amber S., Events Training and Development Manager, who has been with Truluck’s for over 26 years. “I am fortunate enough to do what I love and do it every day with the support of my team. It doesn’t get any better than this.”
