What You’ll Do

• Provide scent-sational customer service by creating a welcoming environment.
• Prioritize food safety by adhering to proper food preparation guidelines, monitor food time/temperature standards and follow required label and time processes- no skunky business, just proper storage and handling.
• Be a clean freak, in a good way! Ensure that all equipment cleaning and sanitation schedules are being adhered to and tracked.
• Make food, obviously. You’ll learn the full Pete’s Eats menu and work with Store Leadership to ensure the store offerings match what customers are buying using store production lists.
• Ensure proper rotation of product through the cold case and hot case.

What You’ll Need

• Solution focused thinking- You get 5 minutes to complain, and then we solve problems and kick tail!
• Effective time management. In the retail environment, one minute it’s slow, then the next there’s a bus full of customers hungry for food. We need someone who will rise to the occasion and go with the flow.
• Prior food service experience is a plus.
• Ability to learn new concepts and stay organized, maintaining a high level of attention to detail while multitasking (there are a lot of moving pieces and skunks headed in every direction!).

Requirements

• Must be at least 19 years of age or older.
• HS Diploma or GED preferred.
• You don’t need to be an Olympic athlete, but you do need to be able to balance on a step stool or step ladder, lift up to 50 lbs., and work from floor to eye level.
• Able to work in a cooler at an average temperature of 32 degrees (hey, at least it’s not Antarctica).
• Completion of our online Food Safety class within the first 90 days of employment
