Job description

At Char’d, we do burgers differently. Our beef is 100% grass-fed, halal, and always fresh — never frozen. We fry in rich, flavorful duck fat (never seed oils), and every sauce is crafted in-house from scratch. No shortcuts, no compromises — just real food done right.

• Safely drive and operate the Char’d food truck to and from scheduled locations and events
• Complete vehicle inspections and ensure the truck is clean, stocked, and ready for service
• Greet guests with a positive, welcoming attitude
• Take accurate orders and operate the register/POS system
• Prepare food items to Char’d standards while maintaining quality and consistency
• Maintain cleanliness and organization of the truck, kitchen, and service areas
• Follow all food safety, sanitation, and cleanliness standards
• Support fellow team members during busy service periods
• Assist with inventory, restocking, opening/closing duties, and general upkeep
• Represent Char’d professionally at all times when interacting with guests and event organizers
• Arrive on time and maintain reliable attendance

Requirements

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• Ability and willingness to drive a food truck safely and responsibly
• Strong sense of responsibility and punctuality
• Positive attitude and team-first mindset

• Excellent communication and customer service skills
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and work in a mobile kitchen environment
• Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and special events as needed
• Prior restaurant, food truck, catering, or customer service experience is a plus, but not required

At Char’d, we're more than just great burgers—we're a team that works hard, supports each other, and takes pride in delivering an unforgettable experience for every guest. If you're dependable, energetic, enjoy meeting people, and want to be part of a growing company, we'd love to hear from you.
