Team-member First
At Damon's Grill we realize our people are our greatest asset. The Damon's Grill motto is Guest First but to truly be Guest First we realize we must be "Team Member First." For the Damon's Grill manager, that means a 9-week comprehensive training program as well as ongoing training throughout your career.

In addition, all candidates will review Damon's signature food items in the test kitchen and must complete the NRA ServSafe Alcohol exam.
