Job Description

Pilot Company is a renowned leader in the travel center industry, boasting a vast network of over 750 retail and fueling locations spread across 44 states in the United States and six Canadian provinces. Established in 1958 by Jim A. Haslam II, the company has grown substantially under the guidance of current CEO Adam Wright, employing more than 30,000 team members. The company operates a major energy and logistics division that stands as a top supplier of fuel, managing one of the largest tanker fleets in the nation. This division provides vital services that support oil operations in the busiest basins throughout North America, ensuring the efficient transportation and delivery of fuel to various locations.

Pilot Company supports a diverse portfolio of brands and operates with expertise in numerous sectors including supply chain and retail operations, logistics and transportation, technology and digital innovation, construction, maintenance, human resources, finance, sales, and marketing. At the heart of the company is a people-first culture and strong foundational values that emphasize commitment, community involvement, and delivering exceptional service to guests, team members, and trucking companies. This commitment fuels the company’s mission of keeping North America moving effectively and sustainably. The company is also dedicated to inclusivity, offering employment consideration to all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or veteran status. Military personnel are especially encouraged to apply, reflective of the firm’s respect for service and diversity.

The role of Deli Supervisor at Pilot Company involves providing operational support to the Deli management team and supervising restaurant activities particularly during non-peak service hours, though responsibilities may extend beyond these times as needed. This position plays a critical role in maintaining the high operational standards set by the company’s Pilot Travel Centers (PTC) for their deli and restaurant services. The supervisor is expected to execute shift plans, manage and follow up on assigned tasks, assist the management team, and actively participate in hourly job functions. This hands-on leadership approach ensures that food preparation, register procedures, cash handling policies, and overall hospitality meet or exceed company standards.

The Deli Supervisor will also be responsible for directing team members throughout their shifts, enforcing cleanliness and safety protocols, monitoring labor usage and break schedules, and adhering to plans and objectives established by the Deli General Manager. Training and cross-training team members is a vital component of the role, as is compliance with PTC policies and procedures. This role demands vigilance in maintaining safety by following security policies and ensuring dress code adherence among team members. The supervisor will also oversee marketing compliance within the deli to guarantee that products are fresh and adequately stocked, executing suggestive selling techniques, and ensuring that food safety and cleanliness standards are rigorously upheld.

This position offers a competitive pay rate starting between $15.00 and $20.13 per hour, reflecting the company’s commitment to rewarding diligence and leadership within its team. Working conditions necessitate compliance with maintenance processes, and the supervisor will be expected to communicate any performance or discipline issues to the Deli General Manager promptly. Additional duties may be assigned by the management team, reflecting the dynamic and multifaceted nature of this leadership role within the Pilot Company network.
