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.

• 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
