Over six decades ago, an adventurous and determined entrepreneur named Harmon Dobson had a bold idea: to serve a burger so big that it took two hands to hold, and so good that after a single bite customers couldn't help but exclaim, “What a burger!” He named his humble burger stand, located on Ayers Street in Corpus Christi, Texas, “Whataburger.”
Our founder's original vision still inspires everything we do. Each and every Whataburger is still made to order—when it's ordered. We still greet our customers with a smile 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And while we now serve hot, fresh food at nearly 800 Whataburger restaurants from Arizona to Florida, that burger stand in Corpus Christi is never far from our hearts.
Your career at Whataburger can be what you make of it. We will give you the opportunities, tools and resources you need to reach your full potential. We commit to training our people because your success is our success. And we put our money where our mouth is. At Whataburger, aspiring restaurant leaders have a chance at a new challenge and a six-figure salary.
