Food Runners connect the kitchen and dining room by carrying orders to guests quickly and accurately, checking that plates look right, and supporting servers and the kitchen team during busy shifts. The role is suited to someone who enjoys staying active, pays close attention to detail, and likes making guests happy. It can be an entry point into hospitality, with opportunities to grow into serving or other front-of-house roles.

Requirements

• Food Handler certification, or willingness to get one after hire.
• Basic knowledge of food allergies and safe food handling.

Responsibilities

• Deliver food from the kitchen to guests promptly, accurately, and at the correct temperature.
• Check each plate for presentation, portion, and accuracy against the ticket before it leaves the kitchen.
• Know the menu well enough to describe dishes and answer basic guest questions.
• Communicate allergy and special-request information clearly between servers and the kitchen.
• Place plates correctly using seat numbers so guests are not asked who ordered what.
• Help servers with table maintenance by clearing plates, refilling water, and bringing condiments or utensils.
• Help reset and set tables to keep turnover smooth.
• Keep the expo line, service stations, and side stations clean, organized, and stocked.
• Follow all food safety, sanitation, and health code standards.
