The current economic climate is driving many people to take up creative side hustles and one brand has seized this opportunity by introducing The Spicy Hustle for food enthusiasts with a passion for fiery flavors, offering them a chance to turn their culinary skills into a profitable venture.
To kick off the launch of its new hot sauce-infused sourdough bread, Schlotzsky's is recruiting one couple with a love of spicy food for an opportunity to complement their day jobs and provide a "compensation package." The Hottest "Compensation" Package for The Spicy Hustle Contest is $15,000 and it includes a trip to Schlotzsky's headquarters to collaborate with the brand's Executive Chef and social team to create content, plus $500 in Schlotzsky's gift cards and 15 $100 Schlotzsky's gift cards to share.
