Job description

Crafty’s mission is to help companies craft better workplaces by providing the services and technology to deliver a modern, comprehensive food & beverage program for their employees, no matter where they work. After operating with a vertically integrated supply chain (i.e., directly fulfilling orders from Crafty-operated distribution centers) in Chicago and the Bay Area, our team launched a third party fulfillment model that has rapidly scaled our coverage into over 25 markets globally, in just a year’s time.

At Crafty, we have a diverse, high-powered team, composed of folks in technology, supply chain operations, field operations, sales, account management, and more. Our workplace is dynamic, fast-paced, and just plain fun; we pride ourselves in having an amazing mix of humans who make up our team!

The Role

They are the human element and the friendly face that leads client-site execution on a daily basis; supporting the site’s product merchandising, inventory management & order replacement, in addition to equipment management. This role will also be a peer mentor and possess the ability to move from one location to another with ease.

This is a high-energy role for people who derive joy from a meticulously organized shelf and positive energy from being around people. Crafty is looking for a F&B Associate II whose responsibilities will include:

• Merchandising: Take pride in your spaces by owning clients’ office kitchens & pantries and highly organized storage rooms, complete expiration checks and product rotations as needed
• Customer Service: With support from your manager, engage with our clients and other Crafty team members onsite, delivering the highest quality service
• Maintenance + Inventory: Perform routine maintenance on machines (such as coffee & kegerators), quality control checks, and completion of task lists (inventory, budget)
• Communication: Communicate and escalate any location needs or safety concerns to your manager, and accurately complete pre/post route paperwork

• Operationally Sound: Ensures that all operations run smoothly, efficiently, and effectively, adhering to best practices and standards.
• Reliable: Shows accountability, punctuality, and consistency in fulfilling commitments. Maintaining high service standards, fostering client trust, and contributing to operational efficiency.
• Resilient: Highly adaptable; can transfer skills learned at one client location to another to quickly get up to speed on the operating rhythms of a new location
• Must be able to remain stationary for 50% of the time and capable of pushing, pulling, and lifting boxes weighing up to 50 pounds throughout the client site as needed
• Peer coach; have mastered our operational best practices and equipment SOPs to the point that they can train their peers. Trained in executing a quality control check and providing constructive, actionable feedback
• Encompasses the ability to work effectively with others towards shared goals while providing and receiving constructive input to enhance individual and team performance
• Demonstrates a team-oriented approach, emphasizing teamwork, supportive behavior, constructive conflict resolution, and a commitment to shared success.
