Job description

Event Operator: Weekends, Nights, and Event Fun

Wanted: Weekends, Nights, and Fall Event Season This Is Not a Typical Food JobThis is mobile events. Packed stadiums, concert nights, festival crowds, and a paycheck that actually makes the weekend worth it.

Fall event season is here, and we need a few fresh faces on the crew.

About Cactus Corn

We're Arizona's original premium popcorn brand, family-owned since 1998, and we go where the crowds are. Chase Field. Salt River Fields. WestWorld of Scottsdale. Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre. Spring training. Major festivals. If thousands of people are there, we're there too.

We're growing fast, we're local, and we're building something real here in Arizona. This isn't a corporate gig. It's a brand with roots and momentum, and we want people who want to be part of it.

What You're Actually Doing

You're an Event Operator on a mobile crew. We roll into a venue, set up, sell out, and roll home.

On a typical shift you'll help load and transport equipment, set up our mobile stations, run popcorn production during the event, keep lines moving and customers happy, handle POS and cash transactions, and tear down clean when it's over.

No office. No cubicle. Just you, a great product, and thousands of people who are already in a good mood. The shift flies by. That's not a sales pitch, it's just what happens when the environment is electric.

Who This Is For

You've worked events, food trucks, concessions, catering, or anywhere fast-paced and on your feet. You don't freeze when a line gets long. You want flexible weekend income that fits around your real life, whether that's school, another job, or your main thing. And you show up when you say you will.

That last one matters more than anything on this list.

Bonus Points

Food truck or mobile kitchen experience? Tell us. Comfortable driving with a trailer, or even backing one up? That's a real plus. Neither is required, but both move you to the top of the stack.

The Honest Part (Read This)

This job is nights, weekends, and event days, because that's when the best events happen. If you want weekday 9-to-5 work, this isn't it. Right now we're looking for people who can work a couple of weekends a month. It's a side hustle, and a good one.

You'll need to be comfortable on your feet for long shifts, able to lift and move product, and willing to travel around Arizona for events. A valid driver's license is required.

Why People Stick Around

• Weekly pay plus tips plus commission opportunities.
• Some of Arizona's best venues.
• Flexible scheduling built for side hustlers.
• Real paths to lead operator and event leadership roles as we grow.

This is the kind of job people bring up at parties. Not to complain. To brag.
