In Austin, our Team Jeni's Team Leaders have the opportunity to earn an average of $20.28 per hour!

• This is an estimate of hourly earnings. It is based on the 2025 base pay rate, plus 2024's hourly tip average. 2025 actual customer tips may vary.

In Texas, if the average hourly earnings of a Team Leader are less than $16 per hour in a two-week pay period, Jeni's will add the difference to the person’s paycheck so that their average hourly earnings reach $16 per hour for that pay period.
