Job Description

Torchy’s Tacos is a vibrant and beloved restaurant chain that originated in Austin, Texas in 2006. Founded by a dedicated executive chef with a passion for quality and creativity, Torchy’s started humbly with a food trailer and has since grown into a nationwide operation with multiple restaurants. Known for serving unique, delicious, and high-quality tacos, Torchy’s has built a strong reputation for its exceptional food, lively atmosphere, and outstanding customer service. The company prides itself on its commitment to maintaining high standards in both food preparation and guest satisfaction, making it a favorite destination for taco lovers across the country.

The Food Expeditor role at Torchy’s Tacos is essential to the restaurant's smooth daily operation and guest experience. This position acts as a critical liaison between the kitchen and the service staff, ensuring that every order leaving the kitchen not only meets but exceeds the company’s high standards for quality and accuracy. The Food Expeditor is responsible for verifying each food order, managing ticket times to keep the flow steady and efficient, and addressing any special or allergy-related orders with care and precision. This position supports the kitchen team by assisting with station setup, maintaining cleanliness, and ensuring that portioning and prep work are done correctly and consistently. Through strong communication and attention to detail, the Food Expeditor helps maintain the reputation of Torchy’s as a restaurant that delivers the best damn tacos, every time.

Working as a Food Expeditor at Torchy’s means becoming part of a team dedicated to quality and efficiency. The position requires attentiveness, speed, and a keen eye for detail to verify orders and communicate effectively with both the kitchen and the runners. In addition to managing the flow of orders, this role involves important food safety responsibilities including properly labeling and dating prepared food items and assisting with cleaning and station maintenance. The ability to handle physical demands such as standing for extended periods, reaching, bending, and lifting up to 40 pounds is necessary.

Torchy’s also emphasizes a positive work environment where team members can have fun while performing their duties. The company offers a competitive wage starting at $11.00 per hour plus pooled tips, making this an attractive opportunity for those seeking employment in the food service industry. Benefits include flexible work schedules, a generous food discount for employees and their spouses, access to medical, dental, and vision insurance for full-time team members after one year of employment, 401(k) participation after six months, paid time off following one year on the job, and support through the Torchy’s Family Foundation during times of personal crisis. This combination of meaningful work, supportive culture, and benefits makes the Food Expeditor position a rewarding career choice at Torchy’s Tacos.
