Cook wanted for summer season 2026 - Seasonal employment

Julins Backyard Barbecue opened in the fall of 2020 with a clear vision: to serve barbecue of the highest class. Our inspiration comes from the American South - specifically Austin, Texas - and since opening we have built a restaurant and smokehouse where quality, craftsmanship and guest experience are central.

Since 2022, our Foodtruck has also been rolling out to events, festivals, markets and catering assignments - spreading the scent of authentic Texas BBQ far beyond the restaurant walls.

In the fall of 2025, we finally opened our BBQ Hub at Herrgårdsgatan 9 in central Karlstad. The smokehouse on Örsholmen is in full swing to also supply our BBQ Hub with Authentic Texas BBQ - but here in the form of Street Food.

For us, guests are more than just guests – they are our friends. When they walk in, they should get a complete experience of food, drink, music and service with a refined touch. Texas barbecue – but in Värmland.

We are now looking for extra staff for our kitchen team for the spring and summer season. Start now with the possibility of extension in the fall.
