    • Work closely with kitchen staff, drivers, and leadership to meet daily deadlines


    • Provide feedback to improve processes, kitchen flow, and service execution

    • 1+ years experience in food service, catering, or meal prep preferred


    • Valid driver’s license with clean record (preferred, not required)


    • High-functioning, dependable, and capable of juggling multiple tasks with minimal supervision


    • Strong attention to detail and sense of urgency


    • Excellent communication and teamwork skills


    • Able to lift up to 50 lbs, stand for long periods, and work in a fast-paced environment
