Work where a real kitchen meets real AI research

Curry Creations is a small Indian-fusion restaurant that runs on software we build ourselves — from a guided kitchen display to demand forecasting. Whether you love cooking or machine learning, you'll do work that matters here from day one.

Kitchen Team Member

Pay
$13 / hour
Type
Part-time or full-time
Location
In person — Curry Creations, Beaumont, TX

Cook and assemble made-to-order Indian-fusion dishes in a modern, tech-forward kitchen. Our guided kitchen display walks every order step-by-step, so you always know exactly what to prep next — you focus on great food, the system handles the chaos.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare and assemble menu items to recipe and food-safety standards
  • Knife work: cutting, chopping and portioning vegetables, paneer and proteins
  • Work the guided kitchen display: claim orders, follow prep steps, mark items ready
  • Wash dishes and utensils, and clean and sanitize surfaces and equipment
  • Take out the trash and keep the trailer and prep area tidy through service
  • Keep stations stocked, clean, and organized through the shift
  • Help with receiving, prep lists, and end-of-day closedown
  • Greet pickup customers and hand off orders when front-of-house needs a hand

About you

  • Some kitchen or food-prep experience — this is hands-on cooking, not a counter job
  • Comfortable with a knife and confident prepping to a recipe
  • Reliable, punctual, and comfortable in a fast-paced kitchen
  • Food handler certification (or willingness to obtain one — we help)
  • Willing to do the unglamorous parts too — dishes, cleaning, trash
  • Weekend and evening availability is a plus

AI Research Assistant — Food Systems

Pay
$13 / hour
Type
Part-time · student researchers welcome
Location
Hybrid — Beaumont, TX + remote

Do applied AI research inside a real, running restaurant. Curry Creations operates on a production platform we build ourselves — demand forecasting, LLM-based receipt understanding, kitchen process optimization, and a privacy-preserving computer-vision roadmap. Your models ship to a live kitchen, and strong results become publishable working papers.

What you'll work on

  • Demand forecasting for a zero-waste kitchen — time-series models on real order history
  • Vendor-receipt entity resolution — LLM canonicalization of noisy, multilingual ingredient names
  • Prep-flow optimization — scheduling and bill-of-materials modeling for one-to-two-person kitchens
  • Queue-aware ETA modeling for live order tracking
  • Privacy-preserving computer vision — activity recognition where segmentation removes faces and assigns anonymous track IDs before any analysis

Responsibilities

  • Prototype, evaluate, and ship models against real operational data
  • Design honest evaluations — we publish measured results, not aspirations
  • Write up findings; co-author working papers targeted at applied AI venues
  • Present progress in a short weekly research sync

About you

  • Student or recent graduate in CS, ML, statistics, HCI, or a related field
  • Comfortable with Python or JavaScript and modern ML tooling
  • Curiosity about real-world systems — restaurants are gloriously messy data environments
  • Coursework or projects in NLP, forecasting, or computer vision are a plus
