Job Description

The hiring establishment is a vibrant sports bar and café environment known as Crossings Café and Sports Bar. This facility combines the casual, energetic atmosphere of a sports bar with the convenience and quality of a café, providing guests with a diverse range of food and beverage options. The establishment caters to patrons looking to enjoy sports events on big screens, savor delicious meals, or grab ready-to-go orders, all within a lively and friendly setting. The team is dedicated to offering excellent service and creating memorable experiences for every guest who walks through the door. The work environment is engaging and fast-paced, designed to give team members ample opportunities to develop their skills and contribute to a dynamic hospitality operation.

The role being offered is that of a Food Runner, an essential position within the food and beverage service team. As a Food Runner, you will be responsible for transporting food and beverage orders from the kitchen and bar areas to guests, ensuring efficient and timely delivery that enhances the guest experience. Your duties will include picking up and delivering items from one location to another as directed by servers, bartenders, supervisors, and other team members. You will also add garnishes, sides, and utensils to food orders, ensuring each item is complete and appealing before it reaches the customer.

Working primarily during the swing shift from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, this role requires active collaboration with both the sports bar and the kitchen staff. Coordinating closely with kitchen personnel, you will help ensure that orders are accurately filled and finalized, supporting top-notch service and operational flow. This position requires flexibility, excellent communication skills, and a high level of attention to detail, as well as adherence to safety and cleanliness standards. There is no supervisory responsibility associated with this role, allowing you to focus purely on supporting your team on the floor and delivering superior service to guests.

The ideal candidate is at least 21 years old, with a high school diploma or equivalent preferred, and capable of obtaining necessary certifications such as a gaming license and food handler's card. Physical stamina is important as the role involves lifting up to 30 pounds, standing and walking for extended periods, and occasionally climbing or bending. In return, employees can expect to work in a collaborative, team-oriented environment where early career hospitality professionals or those seeking flexible shifts can thrive. This comprehensive job summary provides all key insights into what it means to be a Food Runner at Crossings Café and Sports Bar and highlights the critical role this position plays in delivering excellent dining experiences.
