- Take photos/videos and contribute to social media content
- Maintain cleanliness, organization of incoming orders, and workspace safety
- Wash dishes and kitchen tools, and handle general cleaning duties including sweeping, mopping, and cleaning the kitchen, bathroom, and store — this is an all-hands role, not divided by task or job title
- Flag issues, shortages, or concerns to the Manager/Owner promptly
- Support the team with flexibility, positivity, and a can-do attitude
REQUIREMENTS
- Recent restaurant or food service experience required — you should already be comfortable with food safety practices and kitchen standards on day one
- Prior experience guiding, training, or informally leading others in a kitchen or food service setting
- Must be 18+ (required to operate meat slicer)
- Must be 21+ with a valid Virginia driver's license and good driving record if assisting with deliveries and off-site catering

- Comfortable communicating with clients and teammates in-person, by phone or email
- Able to lift up to 50 lbs. without assistance and stand for extended periods
- Able to follow and uphold food safety guidelines for yourself and the team
- Must be available to work Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends — our busiest and most unpredictable days, with frequent same-day and walk-in orders
- Additional availability required during peak seasons
- Hours are scheduled to volume — expect shifts to run shorter during slower periods and longer during busier periods, with shifts that may start earlier or run later than scheduled depending on order volume
- Please include your typical weekly availability, and whether you're seeking part-time or full-time hours, in your application
BONUS QUALIFICATIONS (NOT REQUIRED)
- Current ServSafe certification strongly preferred — if not certified, you'll complete it within a couple weeks of hire, and we'll cover the cost
- Experience training or mentoring team members
- Experience with Facebook, Instagram, basic content creation and editing
- Catering, events, or customer service experience beyond food service
- Bilingual (English/Spanish is a big plus!)
