Job description

Crew Opener - Start Your Day with Bold Flavors & Bright Opportunities!

The New Ulm Taco John's is looking for a reliable crew opener. Start time is 6:30 am. If your dependable, friendly, and a morning person looking for work - please apply.

Wake Up to Better Mornings at Taco John's!

Are you an early riser looking to kick-start your career with a company that values reliability and rewards dedication? As a Crew Opener at Taco John's in New Ulm - you'll be the morning hero who sets the stage for a successful day of serving our famous West-Mex® cuisine!

What's In It For You

• Discounted Food (yes, that includes Potato Olés®!)
• Major Holidays Off (We're closed for Easter, Thanksgiving & Christmas)
• Competitive Pay: $14.00 - $16.00/hour depending on experience and availability
• Growth opportunities through our comprehensive training programs

Why Taco John's Stands Out

At Taco John's, we're not just one of the largest Mexican quick-service brands in America - we're the ONLY place in the world where you can find our legendary Potato Olés®! Our commitment to quality shines through in everything we do, from our fresh-fried crispy taco shells to our made-from-scratch ingredients prepared daily.

Our Culture: Bold Flavors, Bolder Team

We pride ourselves on creating an energetic, supportive workplace where creativity and dedication are valued. Our family-like atmosphere balances professionalism with personality, where your contributions matter and your career can truly flourish. As a Crew Opener, you'll be part of a team that feels like family, working together to deliver an exceptional experience to every guest.

A Day in the Life of a Crew Opener

Forget the same droned-out fast-food routine! As a Crew Opener, you'll arrive bright and early (typical shifts include 6:30am-2:00pm, 6:30am-1:00pm, or 6:30am-12:00pm) to kickstart our day the Olé way!

Your morning will be filled with:

• Preparing fresh ingredients from basics like tomatoes and Pico to our signature sauces
• Setting up food stations and ensuring everything is ready for the day ahead
• Delivering outstanding Restaurant Customer Service to our morning guests
• Working alongside fellow team members in a fun, fast-paced environment
• Learning food prep standards that will benefit your future career

This position can be tailored to your schedule, with both full-time (30-40 hours/week) and part-time (15-30 hours/week) opportunities available!

What You'll Need

Previous restaurant experience is preferred, but not required - we'll provide all the training you need to master exceptional Restaurant Customer Service skills! What matters most is your reliability, positive attitude, and willingness to learn.

Join Our Morning Crew!

As a Crew Opener, you'll be vital to starting the day off right. That's why we're looking for dependable team members who take pride in their work and want to grow with us!
