In-N-Out Careers — Jobs, Pay & How to Apply (2026)

In-N-Out careers cover three tracks: restaurant jobs, corporate/support roles, and warehouse and distribution positions. All openings are posted on In-N-Out’s official careers portal at in-n-out.com/employment. This page covers starting pay by state, every job type available, how to apply step by step, the careers login link for existing associates, and what’s hiring right now — including new Tennessee locations opening in 2026. Last verified: July 2026.

Is In-N-Out Hiring Right Now?

Yes. In-N-Out Burger currently has over 544 open positions listed on Indeed as of July 2026. Openings exist across all operating states — California, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, and Idaho — plus new Tennessee locations that began opening in 2026.

In-N-Out is actively expanding eastward, with new locations opening across five different states, and Tennessee is a major part of that growth.

If your nearest location isn’t hiring, check back in 2–4 weeks. Turnover at In-N-Out is lower than most fast food chains, so openings come up less frequently — but the pay and benefits make it worth waiting for.

Types of In-N-Out Jobs

In-N-Out officially lists three employment tracks on their website.

Restaurant Jobs

These are the most common openings — counter service, drive-thru, grill, and shift management at individual restaurant locations.

All restaurant associates go through paid on-the-job training. No prior fast food experience is required for entry-level roles.

Corporate / Support Jobs

In-N-Out’s corporate employment page lists departments including competitive wages, 401k/profit sharing, free meals, and associate discounts as highlights. Corporate roles are based primarily at In-N-Out’s headquarters — currently in Irvine, California, though the company has announced plans to shift operations back to Baldwin Park by 2030.

To apply for corporate roles, go directly to talent.innout.com — the corporate job portal is separate from restaurant applications.

Warehouse & Distribution Jobs

In-N-Out operates its own distribution centers and meat processing facilities, which keeps the supply chain fully in-house. Warehouse roles include:

Truck driver roles require a valid CDL license. These positions are less frequently posted than restaurant jobs but are available through the main careers portal.

Cookout Truck Jobs

In-N-Out also hires Cookout Associates for their catering truck program, with the same benefits as restaurant roles: competitive wages, paid vacations, flexible schedule, and career growth opportunities. These roles are event-based and listed separately on the employment page.

In-N-Out Pay & Salary 2026

In-N-Out pays significantly above the fast food industry average. Here’s what current data shows:

According to Indeed, the average In-N-Out associate hourly pay in California is approximately $23.15, which is 37% above the national average for similar roles.

In-N-Out Burger employees gave their compensation and benefits a rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars on Glassdoor as of May 2026.

Pay varies by state due to local minimum wage laws, cost of living, and regional market conditions. California locations consistently pay the most; Tennessee and Utah locations are on the lower end but still above most fast food competitors.

In-N-Out Employee Benefits

Official benefits listed on In-N-Out’s employment page include competitive wages, paid vacations, flexible scheduling, and career growth for restaurant associates. Corporate associates additionally receive 401k/profit sharing, free meals, and associate discounts.
