Food Kiosk Operator - Entry Level

No Experience Required — Training Provided

The Entry-Level Food Kiosk Operator will eventually be part of a two-person team responsible for operating a lunch and dinner food kiosk serving customers through a walk-up window, takeout orders, and third-party delivery services.

This is a hands-on position designed for someone who wants to learn food service, cooking, customer service, and restaurant operations. Previous restaurant or cooking experience is not required. We will provide training in food preparation, commercial cooking equipment, point-of-sale systems, order fulfillment, food safety, and daily kiosk operations.

Team members will also have the opportunity to earn required food-safety certifications as part of their training and development.

The ideal candidate is dependable, willing to learn, comfortable working with others, and able to stay organized in a small, active environment. This can be a great opportunity for someone looking for their first food-service job or interested in developing skills that can lead to greater responsibility over time as our business grows

As training is completed, responsibilities will include:

• Learn to prepare and cook menu items consistently, safely, and efficiently.

• Follow standardized recipes, portion sizes, and preparation procedures.

• Monitor food quality and presentation.

• Communicate supply needs and assist with inventory counts.

• Help receive, organize, and properly store food and supplies.

• Assist with other kiosk responsibilities as needed during busy lunch and dinner periods.

Preferred — But Not Required

The following experience is helpful but not necessary:

• Previous restaurant, food truck, concession, kiosk, or food-service experience
