Job Description

Chili's is a well-established casual dining restaurant chain that originated in Dallas, Texas, in 1975. Over the years, Chili's has become a popular destination for food lovers seeking a vibrant atmosphere and delicious meals. Known for its Big Mouth burgers, house smoked ribs, sizzling fajitas, and hand-shaken margaritas, Chili's has cemented its reputation in the casual dining industry by blending great food with excellent hospitality. The brand's legacy revolves around service, hospitality, and giving back, reflecting its commitment to delivering an outstanding experience to every Guest, every day.

This Food Runner role is a dynamic and engaging position designed for individuals passionate about food, beverages, and providing excellent hospitality. At Chili's, Food Runners are essential team members who contribute significantly to creating a welcoming and seamless restaurant experience. The position offers a fast hiring process and flexible schedules, catering to both part-time and full-time availability. Food Runners at Chili's are not only vital to day-to-day operations but also enjoy ample growth opportunities with a clear path to becoming a server. This role suits energetic and enthusiastic individuals who thrive in fast-paced, high-volume environments and who believe that great food is enhanced by great hospitality.

As a Food Runner, your primary responsibility is to ensure Guests and team members alike receive attentive and personalized service. You will interact with Guests to make them feel special, keep tables clean and free from dirty dishes by pre-bussing empty glassware, plates, and silverware, and collaborate closely with other team members to maintain a smooth and enjoyable dining experience. The role requires availability on some weekends, weekdays, and holidays to accommodate the busy restaurant schedule. With a wage starting at $16 per hour plus tips, this opportunity promises competitive compensation while fostering a supportive and fun team culture.

Chili's prides itself on its team-oriented atmosphere, where employees can have fun, grow professionally, and contribute to making every Guest's visit memorable. The restaurant values team members who exhibit a great attitude, quick thinking, and a commitment to personalized Guest interactions. Previous experience in hospitality or food service is considered a plus but is not mandatory, as Chili's emphasizes enthusiasm, a positive approach, and the ability to work well under pressure. Working at Chili's, Food Runners become part of a respected brand with decades of history and a dedication to excellence in casual dining.
