Job Description

Hungry Pot is a vibrant and innovative restaurant located at 1400 Worcester St, Natick, MA. This dining establishment uniquely combines the rich culinary traditions of Korean BBQ and Asian Hot Pot, offering patrons a diverse and interactive dining experience. Hot pot involves a simmering pot of flavorful broth at the table, in which diners cook a variety of fresh East Asian ingredients such as meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles. This communal and engaging cooking method allows guests to personalize their meal and enjoy dishes prepared directly at their table. Korean BBQ, or gogi-gui, translates to "meat roast" and is another signature feature of Hungry Pot, where guests grill fresh cuts of beef, chicken, or pork themselves to enjoy the freshest flavors possible. With an extensive menu that caters to lovers of authentic Asian cuisine, Hungry Pot prides itself on quality ingredients, exceptional customer service, and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere for all guests.

The Food Runner position at Hungry Pot plays a vital supporting role in enhancing the guest's dining experience by assisting wait staff and bartenders with timely and accurate delivery of food orders. Food Runners ensure that all dishes are presented efficiently and correctly to the customers, facilitating smooth operations between the kitchen and dining area. Responsibilities include verifying order accuracy, loading dishes onto the runner’s cart, and communicating menu details when asked by guests. The role requires attention to detail and organization to manage multiple tables effectively. Beyond delivering food, Food Runners help maintain cleanliness by refilling plates and utensils, clearing empty dishes to keep tables tidy throughout service, and assisting with resetting the dining room at the end of shifts. This position demands stamina to stand and move in a fast-paced environment for extended periods and occasional lifting up to 25 pounds. Hungry Pot welcomes candidates without prior restaurant experience but values those with a year or more of experience, emphasizing a positive attitude and eagerness to learn within a collaborative team environment. Employment options include full-time and part-time schedules, with pay ranging from $17 to $25 per hour depending on experience and shift. The company offers flexible scheduling to accommodate various availability needs, ensuring a balanced work-life arrangement. Joining Hungry Pot as a Food Runner offers an excellent opportunity to be part of a growing restaurant dedicated to delivering a memorable dining experience centered on traditional Korean BBQ and Asian Hot Pot cuisine.
