• Follow cash handling procedures and assist with balancing daily transactions and student accounts.


• Communicate supply needs, customer feedback, and operational updates to your team and supervisors.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

• Enjoy your evenings and weekends-our Monday-Friday daytime schedule means no late nights, no weekends, and no holidays spent in a kitchen.


• Follow the school-year rhythm-work when school is in session and enjoy built-in breaks when students are out.


• Plan for your future with our 401(k) retirement plan.


• Enjoy work-life balance with paid time off and paid holidays.
