Job Description

Ocean Prime is a premier upscale dining establishment renowned for its commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality and culinary excellence. As part of Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, a respected leader in the restaurant industry with over 60 locations, Ocean Prime prides itself on fostering a positive and inclusive environment where both guests and associates feel valued and respected. The brand is synonymous with quality service, innovative menus, and a vibrant atmosphere that appeals to a diverse clientele seeking memorable dining experiences.

The role of Food Runner at Ocean Prime is a crucial position designed to enhance the overall guest experience by ensuring timely and accurate delivery of food orders. Food Runners act as vital team members who support servers, hosts, and management to maintain smooth operations during service hours. This role requires not only speed and efficiency but also a genuine passion for hospitality and teamwork. Food Runners at Ocean Prime help create "raving fans"—not only among guests but also among associates, purveyors, partners, and the community where the restaurant operates.

Food Runners must be adept communicators, coordinating closely with multiple departments to anticipate needs and solve challenges promptly. They must maintain a high standard of personal appearance and hygiene, uphold safety and sanitation protocols, and embody the brand's commitment to positive guest interactions. Cameron Mitchell Restaurants emphasize promoting from within, so there are abundant opportunities for career growth within Ocean Prime and the broader company. Starting pay begins at $2.13 per hour plus tips, with flexible scheduling and a supportive work environment designed to help associates thrive.

Beyond the operational aspects, Ocean Prime’s Food Runners contribute actively to a culture that values kindness, leadership, and positive attitudes. The position requires individuals who take initiative, demonstrate a 'Yes is the Answer!' mentality, and embrace teamwork as a foundational principle. This role is well-suited for individuals who enjoy fast-paced, dynamic settings and want to be part of a family-oriented workplace that prioritizes community engagement and mutual respect.

In summary, the Food Runner at Ocean Prime is more than a service role; it is a position that directly impacts the quality of guests' dining experiences and the strength of team collaboration. Ocean Prime offers a rewarding career path that includes health benefits for eligible associates, paid time off, holiday closures, dining discounts, and an inclusive, creative work environment. Joining Ocean Prime as a Food Runner means becoming part of a company dedicated to excellence, growth, and genuine hospitality.
