**About the Role**

We're hiring two part-time Food Prep & Runners for our upcoming Paradise Valley location, opening Fall 2026. You'll split your time between prepping food items for service and keeping the front-of-house floor stocked, organized, and guest-ready at all times.

It's not the most glamorous role — but it's one of the most essential. The right person will take real pride in being the reason everything runs without a hitch.

Food Prep

Running & Floor Support

-   Monitor product levels proactively and restock before items run out
-   Communicate low stock or availability issues to the Shift Lead or Barista team in real time
-   Support the Barista team during busy periods — restock supplies, clear counters, keep the workspace organized

## Requirements

-   Previous experience in food service, food prep, or retail preferred — we're happy to train the right person

-   Able to move quickly and efficiently in a fast-paced environment
-   Comfortable with food handling and willing to follow food safety protocols
-   Reliable and punctual
-   Ability to stand for extended periods, move continuously throughout the space, and lift up to 30 pounds
