Job Description

Flik Hospitality Group is a division of Compass Group, a global leader in foodservice management. Recognized for its commitment to excellence, Flik Hospitality Group specializes in delivering top-tier culinary experiences across various sectors, including corporate dining, airports, healthcare, and education. Operating in a dynamic and fast-paced industry, Flik Hospitality Group emphasizes quality, innovation, and sustainability in its approach to foodservice. Their presence at JFK International Airport exemplifies their dedication to serving diverse clientele, ensuring every guest enjoys fresh, flavorful meals in a welcoming environment.

The FOOD SERVICE WORKER position at the JFK Capital One Lounge offers a unique opportunity to join a reputable company committed to employee growth, diversity, and inclusion. This full-time role involves preparing, presenting, and serving food to travelers in one of the busiest international airports in the United States. With a fixed pay rate of $22.50 per hour, this position balances competitive compensation with valuable benefits, including free meals, uniforms, and laundering service at select locations.

As a Food Service Worker, the candidate will engage in various culinary support tasks, such as washing, peeling, cutting, and seeding fruits and vegetables, weighing and measuring ingredients, and maintaining strict adherence to food safety and quality standards. The role requires safety-conscious transportation of food items within the kitchen, proper storage of food supplies following wrapping, dating, and rotation protocols, and diligent cleaning of work areas and utensils to maintain a sanitary environment.

Beyond kitchen preparations, this role emphasizes customer service excellence. Candidates will serve customers in a friendly and efficient manner, resolving any concerns promptly while ensuring compliance with company service standards, inventory controls, and cash handling procedures. The position also demands compliance with sanitation and safety regulations to uphold the highest standards in foodservice operations.

Flik Hospitality Group prides itself on creating a workplace where employees feel valued and nurtured. Through comprehensive training and continuous education on the latest culinary trends, associates are empowered to elevate their skills and take an active role in the company’s success. The inclusion of an internal employee referral bonus underscores the company's focus on building a strong community of dedicated professionals.

This position offers a flexible schedule with shifts varying between early mornings and evenings, accommodating different lifestyles while ensuring high service coverage during key operational hours at the airport. This role is ideal for individuals with previous airport food service experience who enjoy working in diverse, fast-moving environments and who are passionate about food and hospitality.

Joining Flik Hospitality Group means starting a career rather than just taking a job. The company is devoted to fostering diversity of thought and inclusion, providing opportunities for career advancement, and maintaining fair employment practices that consider all qualified applicants regardless of background. With a strong support system and an array of benefits, employees can expect a rewarding experience both professionally and personally. This role represents an excellent opportunity for those looking to contribute their talents in the foodservice industry while thriving in an inclusive, supportive workplace environment.
