Why Work at Hive?
We are local and we support local.
Nearly all of the ingredients we use in our made-to-order food are thoughtfully sourced from local farmers and vendors, hence the name, Hive. A community all working together. We pride ourselves in sharing a number of fresh local products through our restaurant and healthy, yet delicious food and beverages.
Miller Amish Country Poultry, Rhodes Family Farm, Butcher’s Block, Wilderlove Farm, Bloomington Brewing Company, Brown County Coffee, Stir Coffee, and many more as we rotate seasonal ingredients.
Flexible hours and close to campus.
Many of our staff members are students and we offer flexibility and accessibility to Indiana University’s campus. We’re located at 10th and the Bypass; within walking distance of the eastside of campus and directly on a busy bus line for those who may not have a car.
We have part-time and full-time opportunities available with both daytime and evening shifts.
Not your traditional sit-down restaurant.
Why is this a good thing? For one, since we do not have traditional servers, all tips are pooled and shared between both front-of-house and back-of-house staff at Hive. Everyone makes a livable wage starting between $14-$17/hour (including tips) based on experience.
We’re a counter-service restaurant where our staff simply take orders and deliver food to tables or our convenient grab-and-go shelf. Our customers are self-sufficient by filling their own drinks, grabbing condiments from our station, and bussing their own tables.
Our model makes everything easy for our customers and our staff.
Inclusive work environment.
We are firm believers that every person is capable. Our management team works hard to maintain a diverse group of staff members. The greater diversity of staff we have; the wider variety of different (and unique) skill-sets we have to work with. This is key to our success.
Hive is the proud recipient of a DSI (Developmental Services, Inc) award from LIFEDesigns for “Employer of the Year” in 2022. Our wonderful management team at Hive provides opportunities and successfully identifies strengths of all staff in order to place them in positions to not only succeed, but love their job as well.
