About the Role

Keep Things Moving. Keep the Floor Ready.

We're hiring two part-time Food Prep & Runners for our upcoming Paradise Valley location, opening Fall 2026. You'll split your time between prepping food items for service and keeping the front-of-house floor stocked, organized, and guest-ready at all times.

It's not the most glamorous role — but it's one of the most essential. The right person will take real pride in being the reason everything runs without a hitch.

Responsibilities

Pre-Opening

• Complete onboarding and training prior to location opening
• Learn company food handling procedures, product knowledge, and service standards
• Assist with café setup, stocking, and operational readiness
• Participate in team training and support grand opening preparation

Food Prep

• Prepare food items for service according to company standards and daily prep lists
• Package, label, and organize product for display and service throughout the shift
• Receive and verify deliveries from the Phoenix production warehouse — organize by type and communicate any discrepancies

• Follow all food safety, sanitation, and temperature guidelines
• Restock prep supplies and communicate inventory needs to the Shift Lead or General Manager

• Monitor product levels proactively and restock before items run out
• Communicate low stock or availability issues to the Shift Lead or Barista team in real time
• Support the Barista team during busy periods — restock supplies, clear counters, keep the workspace organized
• Assist with café cleanliness throughout the shift — floors, surfaces, display cases, and back-of-house areas
• Support opening and closing duties as assigned

Qualifications

• Previous experience in food service, food prep, or retail preferred — we're happy to train the right person
• Strong work ethic and ability to stay busy and self-directed throughout a shift
• Detail-oriented — you notice when things are low, off, or out of place
• Able to move quickly and efficiently in a fast-paced environment
• Comfortable with food handling and willing to follow food safety protocols
• Reliable and punctual
• Ability to stand for extended periods, move continuously throughout the space, and lift up to 30 pounds
• Flexible part-time availability — approximately 25 hours per week including potential early mornings, afternoons, and weekends
• Must be at least 18 years old

Benefits

• Competitive hourly pay
• Employee product discounts
• Flexible part-time scheduling
• Paid pre-opening training
• Opportunity to join a growing company and help launch a new location from the ground up
