We’re opening a new-wave halal butcher shop and specialty grocery store in Astoria, Queens this fall, and we’re looking for skilled, passionate butchers to join our team from the ground up. This is a great opportunity to be part of an opening team and help shape the standards, systems, and product selection from day one.
We’re seeking candidates with experience in:
• Breaking down whole animals
• Butchering primal and subprimal cuts
• Making sausages, charcuterie, and pâtés
• Dry aging and smoking meats
• Preparing marinated cuts and value-added products
• Knife skills and precision cutting
• Maintaining cleanliness and food safety standards
• Providing exceptional customer service and product knowledge
Experience with cheese, seafood, and specialty prepared foods is a plus.
Comfort with interacting directly with customers, explaining cuts, and offering cooking advice is highly valued.
This will be the first of its kind in NYC, a modern, farm-to-table halal (no pork) butcher shop offering premium, humanely slaughtered and ethically sourced meats with a curated selection of artisanal grocery items. We will also carry specialty spices, pantry staples, and hard to find ingredients for home cooks who value quality and authenticity.
We take pride in craftsmanship, sustainability, and hospitality. We’re building a space where customers feel confident in what they’re buying and inspired by what they’re cooking. If you’re a team player who wants to grow with us, contribute ideas, and be part of a forward thinking approach to halal butchery, we’d love to hear from you.
Pay: Flexible and based on experience.
