The crew behind
the chaos.
Bad Burger isn't built by burgers. It's built by the people who hand you the damage.
Real people.
Real shifts.
Real chaos.
Right now the crew is mascots in a wanted poster. Once we open, this section gets real faces — line cooks, soda jerks, ringleaders. The kind of crew that turns "we're closed" into a rumor you don't believe.
// Pre-launch placeholder — real crew dropping at launch.

Things people ask.
Do I need experience?
No. Attitude over resume. We'll train you on the smash, the slaw, the soda. We can't train you to give a damn — that's on you.
When do you actually open?
Detroit flagship lease pending. We'll hire about 60 days out from doors. Get on the lineup and you'll know the day we sign.
What's the pay schedule?
Weekly. Direct deposit. Tips cleared every Friday. No drama.
I've worked at a competitor — does that count?
It does. We'll ask about it on day one. We're not above poaching the good ones.
I want to franchise, not work a shift.
