Over time, be capable of independently running events from:
Packing and loading

Logistics

What We’re Looking For

Culinary school training is an asset
Valid FoodSafe certificate
Reliable transportation to and from events
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
Ability to lead, communicate clearly, and stay composed under pressure
A genuine pride in quality, consistency, and execution

Schedule Expectations

Availability typically Wednesday through Saturday
Prep shifts: mornings / early afternoons (Wed–Fri)
Event days: Fridays / Saturdays, typically afternoons into evening

Compensation & Additional Information

Starting wages varying, with performance-based increases up to $30+/hour following a trial period
Additional growth opportunities based on performance and responsibility
Tips are shared equally among staff based on hours worked at each event
Travel compensation provided for out-of-area events
Referral bonuses available
This role required an averaging agreement (details available upon request)
Direct mentorship and training from the Culinary Director
