Bill Miller does not publish pay rates, and we will not quote a figure we cannot source. Pay for counter, serving-line, pit and bakery roles in Texas quick service varies by city, shift pattern, experience and role — an overnight pit position and a daytime counter position are different jobs on different money. The reliable sources are the official Bill Miller careers page and the rate quoted directly at interview. As an employer it operates 74 stores across 20 Texas cities, so roles and transfer options are relatively broad.
The roles that exist, and what shapes the rate
Understanding the shape of the job tells you more than a single averaged number would.
| Role area | What it involves | What moves the rate |
|---|---|---|
| Counter and serving line | Plating to order, taking payment, the customer-facing line | Shift timing, experience, city |
| Pit and kitchen | Smoking and carving meat, prep, early starts | Unsocial hours, skill — carving is not entry-level |
| Bakery | Pies, biscuits and breads made on site | Very early starts, specialist skill |
| Drive-thru | Order taking and dispatch at pace | Peak-hour cover |
| Shift supervisor | Running a shift, cash, staffing | Responsibility, hours, tenure |
| Store management | P&L, hiring, the whole site | Store volume, tenure |
Bill Miller smokes its own meat and runs its own bakery, which means genuinely skilled roles exist here that do not exist at a reheat-and-serve chain. That matters when you are comparing offers.
Where an actual number comes from
- The official careers page. Bill Miller's own site carries current openings, and postings frequently state a rate or a band. This is the only first-party source.
- The store itself. Walk into your nearest branch outside the lunch rush and ask to speak to a manager. At a 74-store family-owned chain this still works, and you will get a real number for a real vacancy rather than a national average.
- The offer. The only figure that is definitely true is the one written down for the specific job you are being offered, in the city you will work in, on the shift you will work.
Salary aggregator sites will give you a number quickly. Treat those as self-reported and unverified — sample sizes for a regional chain are small, and a figure from three submissions in one city tells you very little about a role in another.
Why this page exists on a menu site
Because people search it here and we would rather answer honestly than let them land on a fabricated figure. Our stance on sourcing is the same whether the number is a brisket plate or an hourly rate: if we cannot show where it came from, it does not go on the page.
