Let’s Be Blunt

Cannabis isn’t just an industry — it’s a movement.

At Mint Cannabis, we’re raising the bar on infused dining with one of the nation’s first full-service cannabis kitchens. Our Lead Cooks are the heartbeat of the kitchen — guiding the team, maintaining top-tier quality, and ensuring every infused dish meets our high standards for flavor, consistency, and precise dosing.

This isn’t your average kitchen leadership role — it’s an opportunity to help shape an innovative culinary program that’s redefining how people experience cannabis.
