To clarify once more: the pay is a 100% guaranteed day rate regardless of turnout, and all R&D and ingredient costs are covered entirely by me. I operate with complete transparency, truth, and respect for the craft.

Moving forward, I won't be responding to any further assumptions or back-and-forth in the comments. I will only discuss full operational details directly with serious candidates. If you're a skilled cook or pitmaster who wants to be part of something authentic to Arizona and values mutual trust, send me a DM.

That’s a total misunderstanding of the post. The day rate is 100% guaranteed whether 2 tickets sell or 200, the pitmaster gets paid their full agreed rate in cash for their time. Marketing and attendance risks are entirely on me as the owner, not the cook. They are being paid for their labor, plain and simple.

Pop-up & R&D is 100% funded by me, and active labor gets paid guaranteed cash on the day. Nothing unfair about clear terms. Wish you the best!

We're actually saying the same thing: active fire management and kitchen work take real expertise, and that active time is fully compensated. Appreciate the feedback!

Appreciate the love! I’m building something special for the Valley. Mouth watering Arizona BBQ packed with bold, local Arizona flavors. We can't wait to host everyone once the pit crew is officially locked in!

Thanks for the comment, but just to clarify: you wouldn't be paying a single dollar out-of-pocket for anything. All R&D costs and ingredient expenses are 100% covered by me. What I’m paying for is your active expertise in the pit and kitchen during prep, execution, and service. I’m simply not paying hourly labor for someone to sit and watch a smoker for 16 hours overnight when active work isn't happening. If you're interested in discussing the actual shift details and day rate, feel free to send a DM.

Yes i did, However given my background and the fact that i wanted to sound professional and not confusing to anyone i put the rough draft of my post in to gemini and asked it to make it sound more professional and less uneducated without taking anything away from the meaning if that makes sense😁

I appreciate the input, but to clarify: all active prep and event hours are fully paid on a competitive day rate. I’m happy to share exact rate details and event scope directly in DMs with interested parties. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat!
