Job Description

Delaware North’s Patina Group is a distinguished leader in the hospitality industry, known for managing and operating some of the most iconic dining destinations and venues worldwide. One of their notable ventures is Morimoto Asia, an exquisite pan-Asian restaurant located in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Morimoto Asia, helmed by the celebrated Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, offers guests an immersive dining experience that blends modern elegance with authentic Asian flavors in a sophisticated two-story setting at Disney Springs. This restaurant is designed to cater to a diverse crowd, providing various environments such as stylish lounges and intimate private dining rooms, appealing to guests seeking both vibrant social hubs and private gatherings.

The opportunity at hand is a part-time Food Runner position within Morimoto Asia’s dynamic team. As a Food Runner, you will serve as the vital link between the kitchen and dining area, ensuring that food is expedited promptly and efficiently from chefs to guests.

Morimoto Asia prides itself on not just serving food but creating memorable and culturally authentic dining experiences, and as a Food Runner, you play a critical part in realizing that mission.

The restaurant's work environment is fast-paced and requires physical stamina due to constant standing, walking, bending, and carrying up to 35 pounds. Flexible availability is a must, as shifts may include evenings, weekends, holidays, and special events, allowing you to build varied work experience and adapt to a vibrant hospitality scene.

Delaware North brings a century-long legacy of hospitality excellence worldwide, encompassing roles across sports arenas, national parks, casinos, and retail establishments.
