Job description

Description

FOH Team Member Curry Up Now, San Mateo

Indian Born, California Raised. We've been slinging halal Indian street food since 2009, when Akash and Rana Kapoor rolled out a single food truck in the Bay. Today we run multiple Bay Area locations, a national franchise system, and a kitchen culture that takes the food seriously and the room not too seriously. We're hiring an FOH Team Member to be the first face our guests see at our San Mateo location.

Compensation

• Hourly wage: $18.00 – $22.00 per hour, depending on experience
• Tips: This position participates in a pooled tip program, distributed per company policy. Tips are in addition to the hourly wage and do not offset the minimum wage.
• Free shift meal every shift you work
• Discounted meals at all Curry Up Now locations
• Paid sick leave in compliance with California and San Mateo law (1 hour earned per 30 hours worked, up to the legal maximum)
• Commuter benefits
• Paid rest breaks (10 minutes for every 4 hours worked) and meal breaks (30 minutes for shifts over 5 hours), per California law

What You'll Do

• Greet every guest like they're the first one through the door that day
• Take orders, ring them up accurately, and own the cash drawer for your shift (open, close, reconcile)
• Run food and drinks to tables, bus tables, and reset for the next guest
• Keep the dining room, restrooms, and entry area clean throughout the shift
• Answer guest questions about the menu, spice levels, ingredients, and dietary needs (we'll train you on all of it)
• Handle complaints calmly and loop in a manager when needed
• Run end-of-day close: cash count, deposit prep, station cleanup, and shift handoff
• Pitch in on production or expo during rushes when the team needs an extra set of hands

What We're Looking For

• You like people. You can read a room and adjust your energy
• You can stand and move for the length of a full shift
• You're comfortable handling cash and a POS system, or you'll learn fast
• You show up on time, in clean uniform, ready to work
• Restaurant or retail experience is a plus but not required — we hire for attitude and train the rest

Reports to: Restaurant Manager.

Schedule

Part-time and full-time shifts available. Includes weekends and evenings. Schedule provided 2 weeks in advance.

Physical Requirements

• Stand, walk, and move for the duration of an 8-hour shift
• Lift and carry up to 50 lbs occasionally (cases of product, bus tubs, supplies)
• Reach, bend, and stoop throughout the shift
