About Hot Chi

Hot Chi brings one-of-a-kind Chicago fire and flavor to everything we do.

We’re more than hot chicken—it’s about culture, legacy, and Second City swagger. We take pride in our hometown, lead with soul, and have fun while we do it.

For us, it’s all about ihsan—the practice of excellence and serving others well. Whether it’s making viral videos or making someone’s day with a free meal, we do it with intention.

We opened our first location in Chatham in 2020, inside the former Harold’s #55. What started as a bold idea in the middle of a pandemic turned into lines around the block and a growing brand with multiple locations, collabs with Chicago artists, and the mission to put Chicago-style hot chicken on the map.

At Hot Chi, we live to serve. If you bring the hustle, the hospitality, and the good vibes, you’ll fit right in.Store Hours: 11 am- 10 pm Sunday- Thursday, open til 1 am Friday & Saturday. 

The Role

Crew Members at Hot Chi are the heartbeat of the restaurant. You’ll work the line, prep food, keep the vibe right, and make sure every guest leaves saying, “damn, that was good.”

What You’ll Do

At Hot Chi, crew members rotate between four key positions:

  1. Cashier + Expo – Welcome guests, run the register, take orders with hospitality, and keep the lobby clean and inviting. This also includes packaging orders accurately, making shakes and handing off drinks. 

  2. Line – Assemble sandwiches, tenders, fries, and sides with speed and accuracy.

  3. Fry – Handle the fryers, cook chicken to crispy perfection, and maintain food safety standards.

  4. Prep/Dish – Prep fresh ingredients, stock the line, wash dishes, and keep the kitchen running smooth.

No matter the position, you’ll:

  • Deliver top-notch hospitality and teamwork.

  • Follow food safety, sanitation, and company standards.

  • Support your crew and keep the energy high.

  • Adapt to a fast-paced environment and stay cool under pressure.

What We’re Looking For

  • Previous restaurant/fast-casual experience is great, but not required—we’ll train you.

  • Positive attitude, dependable work ethic, and strong communication skills.

  • Ability to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends.

  • Comfortable standing for extended periods and lifting up to 40 lbs.

  • Team-oriented and eager to learn.
