Description du poste

Store Associate, Front of House – Part Time

Compensation: $15.00 – $18.00 / hour plus performance incentives and tips.

Schedule: Part-Time (15-30 hours / week)

• Hours:
  • Standard weekday shift times:
    • 9:30am – 3:30pm, 9:30am – 7:15pm, 2:30pm – 7:15pm, 8a – 2:30pm (seasonally).
  • We are a weekend focused business and require weekend availability for all team members. Below are the weekend requirements :
    • 1.5 – 2 Weekends per month. – Sa 9:15am – 2:15pm, Su 10:30am – 4:15pm
    • 2+ Closing nights per week (M – Th 7:15pm, Fr 5:15pm)

At Lean Kitchen, we believe eating healthy should be delicious, simple, and convenient . We give our customers their time back by serving up fresh, macro-balanced meals that eliminate the daily stress of “what am I going to eat?”—freeing them up to focus on what matters most.

As a Store Associate, you are the person our customers actually meet. Our kitchen produces the meals. What happens next is yours: how customers are greeted, how their nutrition goals get understood, what they walk out with, and whether they come back. You will run the storefront on your own for most of your shift, which means the standard of the store is whatever standard you bring that day. It is an ideal fit if you love talking to people about health and nutrition, work well without someone looking over your shoulder, and want to be measured on results you can see every day.

This is a part-time seat with a real path out of it. Your Team Lead owns the location. You own your shift, and the associates who own it well are the ones we look at first when a Team Lead seat opens up: consistent numbers, a store handed off right every time, and a habit of taking care of things that were technically someone else’s to catch. We would rather grow a leader than hire one.

What You’ll Do

• Strive towards daily and weekly sales goals by identifying the nutrition needs of our customers
• Maintain store KPI’s on every shift you work to ensure the highest level of quality across store operations
• Complete daily tasks and execute strategic initiatives
• Work as part of a team with a common goal of helping our community be a healthier place
• Run the storefront independently, sometimes from open to close, as the only team member on shift
• Build supplement knowledge deep enough to answer real questions, and make the recommendation every time it fits with the customers goals
• Execute promotional programs in full, including Meal of the Month, Supplement of the Month and Bundle of the Month placement, signage, and readiness to talk about them
• Hold store cleanliness, merchandising, and presentation to standard at all times
• Own accurate opening and closing procedures, cash handling, and end-of-day reconciliation
• Proactively notify kitchen leadership when meal inventory is trending short of what the day will need, early enough to replenish with fresh meals before the busiest parts of the day
• Hand the store off clean, with complete shift notes, so the next person starts where you left off
• Flag low supplement stock to your Team Lead before it runs out
• Pick up additional shifts when your availability allows and the store needs coverage
• Stay engaged with your team and the wider company through Slack and cross-location Zoom huddles or team outings

What We’re Looking For

• A positive, solution-oriented attitude with customer first mindset
• Genuine interest in nutrition and fitness, and the confidence to have that conversation with a customer
• Self-directed. You will run the store alone for most of your shift and be trusted with it
• Dependability the store depends on. When you are scheduled, you are the store
• Strong attention to detail across sales, cleanliness, and daily operational tasks
• Comfort with numbers. You will have a weekly scorecard and should want to know what is on it
• Team players who show up reliable, ready, and proactive on our rotating team schedule
• Ability to stand and move dynamically for up to 4 hours at a time
• Capability to lift and carry up to 50lbs
• Ability to safely push, pull, and maneuver loaded mobile carts and rolling racks
• Continuous flexibility to kneel, bend, stoop, squat, and stretch to complete daily store tasks
• Strong verbal and written communication skills. A real part of this role happens in writing, in Slack and in shift notes, and it carries the same weight as what you say on the floor
• Retail, restaurant, or customer service experience is helpful but not required. We’re happy to train the right candidate!

What You’ll Get

• Competitive hourly pay: $15–$18 per hour + incentives + tips
• Sales incentives – ongoing programs tied to store and individual performance
• Free meal & snack/drink each shift
• Discounted meals and products – substantial employee savings on meals and supplements
• No late nights – out by 7:15pm
• Simple IRA with company match – invest in your future with retirement matching after 6 months
• Paid Time Off (PTO) – accrued based on hours worked
• Immediate hiring with structured 90-day onboarding and training
• Growth opportunities – a real path into Store Team Lead and multi-unit responsibility for associates who deliver
• Closed on Thanksgiving & Christmas
• A workplace built on respect, continuous improvement, and teamwork

We believe great operations are built on trust, clear processes, and mutual respect. We aren’t just selling food—we’re helping people live healthier, simpler lives.

Our team is guided by Five Core Values :

• Every Guest, Every Name: Relationship-driven mindset. Treat every single meal as if it’s going to someone you know personally.
• The Secret Sauce: Consistency through SOPs. Perfection isn’t an accident; it comes from executing the process.
• Simple is Sustainable: Continuous improvement. We constantly refine workflows to make the store run smoother and better.
• Energy is Contagious: Professional optimism. A proactive, “can-do” attitude is non-negotiable.
• No Spectators: Proactive ownership. If you see something that needs doing, own it. A task seen is a task given.
