Job description

Food Runner.

$10–$14/hr · Paid weekly · No experience needed · Ford City, PA.

The food is only as good as it is when it hits the table. That's your job — hot food, right seat, right now.

Why you'll love working here:

• $10–$14/hr, paid weekly. Straight hourly — your pay doesn't depend on how the night goes.
• Performance bonuses based on attendance, time-off requests through 7shifts, and how service runs on your shifts.
• Flexible hours, full-time or part-time. Tell us what you need and we'll build around it.
• Meal discounts — 50% on shift, 25% off shift.
• Most holidays off. Spend the time with your family.
• No experience required. If you can hustle and take direction, we'll teach you the rest.

Who we are:

We cook from scratch in a 6,200 sq. ft. timber-frame building in Ford City — fireplace, sports bar, one of the biggest tap lists in the valley, and a dining room that fills up. Scratch food is worth getting right, which is why the last thirty feet matter as much as the cooking does. We live by Ryan's Three A's: Atmosphere, the room and the energy. Ammunition, scratch food made right every single time. Attitude, our team — the part you can't buy.

Your Role:

• You're the last hands on the plate before a guest sees it — moving food fast, to the right person, and keeping the floor moving through the rush.
• Run food from the window to the table — hot, complete, and to the right seat.
• Learn table and seat numbers cold. Auctioning plates slows the whole floor down.
• Check plates on the way out: right dish, right sides, right temperature.
• Drop condiments, silverware, and refills without being asked.
• Clear and reset tables, and back up servers and expo wherever the night needs it.

What we're looking for:

• You move with purpose and don't need to be told twice.
• Friendly and presentable — guests see you.
• Reliable and punctual, and able to keep up when the room is full.
• No experience necessary; we'll train you.
• Evenings and weekends, reliable transportation, legal working age.

Where it goes:

Running food is the fastest way to learn our menu, our floor, and our guests. Plenty of servers start right here.

Equal opportunity employer.
