About The Company
Cheba Hut has been escaping the established and getting “toasted” since 1998. We have broken the mold of mundane fast-casual concepts and set ourselves apart by becoming the first marijuana-themed “joint” - (pun intended). We are dedicated to combining locally sourced ingredients with a chill, welcoming environment where genuine food is served by genuine people. Our relaxed, fun, and authentic dining experience includes a full-service bar and highlights our menu because it’s not about getting high, it’s about epic food and legendary service! At Cheba Hut, we serve mouth-watering “toasted” subs on garlic “herb” bread, with a “secret stash” of “home-grown” spices. We offer more than 30 signature subs, all of which are handcrafted with the best bread in the business, high-quality hand-sliced meats, and cheeses, fresh crisp veggies, and topped with our homemade sauces and dressings. Over the past 20 years, we have seen steady growth and today our huts can be found in over 20 locations, across 7 states. We are proud to have created more than just a place people want to hang out at; we have turned our customers into raving, loyal fans who wear our sweet branded threads and spread the word of peace, love, and Cheba Hut everywhere they go!

Company

Cheba Hut started back in 1998 in Tempe, Arizona. We started with a pipe dream.... Craft some tasty, stoner-approved toasted subs and munchies from scratch, create a laid-back workplace for our friends, and do it all in a relaxed environment where people could escape the grind. We couldn’t have accomplished anything without the help of many hardworking friends along the way, and now we need you to help us continue our journey! 


At Cheba Hut, we do it a little differently. We are real people who craft real food for other real people. We give a damn and take pride in what we do. We embrace individuality. We puff, puff, give. And we choose to flip the bird to the man! If you are stuck at a job with no room for growth or simply want something fresh where you can be yourself, make some tasty grub, and listen to some sweet jams, take advantage of this opportunity, and come have some fun with us. 


Elevated Huts, Inc is Cheba Hut "Toasted" Sub's largest franchisee with 25 locations managed in Colorado and Nevada. We are currently looking to grow our team. If you think you have what it takes to be a leader in this "high" energy team, check out the following details and apply today!
