This page is written by the hiring team at Eggman ATX in Austin. It’s an honest look at our Line Cook role — what it pays, the daytime schedule, where you’d work, and how to apply. The mornings start early. But you’re home before the dinner rush ever begins.
Eggman ATX is hiring line cooks in Austin — and the schedule is the headline. We’re a NYC-style breakfast-sandwich spot, so service is daytime only: we open at 7 AM and the kitchen wraps by early afternoon. If you’ve cooked dinner service and you’re tired of closing the line at midnight, this is the trade you’ve been wanting — real kitchen work, real food, and your evenings back.
Key Takeaways
- Pay & perks: Competitive wages plus free shift meals. Full-time crew also get medical, dental & vision insurance and education assistance. (Exact rate is listed on each posting.)
- Schedule: Daytime only — 7 AM start, done by early afternoon (Zilker and Mueller close at 1:30 PM). Evenings and weekend nights free.
- Locations: Four Austin spots — Zilker (Barton Springs Rd), Mueller (Airport Blvd), and Southeast (Comsouth Dr).
- Growth: On-the-job training and promote-from-within — a typical path runs prep → line → lead.
- Apply: Under 2 minutes, no account required — staffedup.com/eggman-jobs.
Now Hiring: Austin Breakfast Line Cook Roles
Eggman is a NYC-inspired breakfast-sandwich spot with four locations across Austin — bold flavors, kaiser rolls, house-made sauces, and a real team. The kitchen closes in the afternoon, not after midnight.
There are no closing shifts here. You start early, you cook the rush, and you’re out the door while the rest of the restaurant world is just clocking in for dinner.
We’re hiring line cooks across all four Austin neighborhoods right now: Zilker, Mueller, and Southeast.
What You’ll Earn: Pay and Perks
Eggman offers competitive hourly pay, with your starting rate based on experience. We list the exact number on each posting — no “competitive pay” runaround. Beyond the paycheck, this isn’t just a job; it’s a place to grow.
Perks on the table:
- Free shift meals — every time you work.
- Medical, dental & vision insurance for full-time crew.
- Education assistance for full-time crew.
- Flexible scheduling around school or a second job.
- On-the-job training and real career growth — we promote from within.
- Recognition & rewards, plus awesome coworkers and a fun kitchen.
We state our pay plainly because you deserve to know before you apply. For broader market context, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes wage data for restaurant cooks — useful for seeing where this role sits. For Eggman’s exact rate, check the live posting.
Daytime Hours: Be Home Before Dinner
Here’s what no late-night kitchen can match: we serve breakfast only, so our cooks work daytime hours. Every location opens at 7 AM; Zilker and Mueller close at 1:30 PM, and Southeast is open seven days a week.
No closing shifts. No midnight cleanups. No choosing between a paycheck and your evenings. This works especially well for parents, students, and anyone juggling a second job — and for cooks who are simply done with dinner service.
One honest tradeoff: the early mornings are real. If you’re up for that, the rest of the schedule pays you back.

Your Daily Duties on the Breakfast Line
A shift starts with setup: prepping eggs, getting the griddle and plating area ready, and stocking up for the rush. Then the tickets start.
You’ll run the line through breakfast service — eggs every way, the griddle, building NYC-style sandwiches on kaiser rolls with our house sauces, and keeping the pass moving with your crew. Mornings and weekends are genuinely busy; we’d rather tell you now than surprise you on Saturday.
You’d work the griddle, egg station, sandwich build, and plating alongside your kitchen crew. For a full breakdown of what this occupation involves, O*NET’s restaurant cook profile is a reliable reference.
Who We’re Looking For: Experience and Requirements
We’re looking for reliable cooks who show up and care about getting the plate right. Some line or prep experience helps, but we train the right attitude. What you’ll need:
- Dependability — your team counts on you at the rush.
- Food Handler Certification — Texas requires food employees to hold a food handler card; if you don’t have one yet, it’s quick and inexpensive to get (see Texas DSHS food handler requirements).
- Physical readiness — able to stand for your full shift and lift as the job requires.
We hire on reliability and skill, and we welcome applicants from every background.
Culture, Growth, and the Eggman Team
We call our team The Breakfast Club — good vibes, strong teamwork, and people who take the food seriously without taking themselves too seriously. That’s a description of how the line actually runs, not a recruiting slogan, and a lot of our cooks have grown their careers right here.
Five values guide how we hire and how we show up: Integrity, Growth, Hospitality, Community, and Collaboration. Growth here is real — we train on the job and promote from within, so a typical path runs prep → line → lead. Want to move up? We’ll show you the path and back you on it.
