Job Description

Beaker's Cafe is a vibrant eatery located within the OUHC Student Union in Oklahoma City. As a key dining destination on campus, it serves a diverse community of students, faculty, and visitors by offering a wide range of freshly prepared deli and grill items. This cafe is renowned for providing quality food in a friendly and fast-paced environment, making it a popular choice for those seeking casual dining options. Being part of a university setting, Beaker's Cafe emphasizes a community-centric approach and values service excellence and teamwork among its staff. The company culture promotes growth opportunities and offers positions that can transition from part-time to full-time employment, with the potential for benefits for the right candidates.

Currently, the cafe is hiring for two essential positions: deli person and grill cook. Both roles are service and maintenance oriented with clerical components and are classified under PEAK temporary work types. These positions primarily operate on a Monday to Friday schedule, following a standard fixed timetable. The pay rate is targeted at $13.00 per hour, which may vary depending on experience. Although these roles do not initially offer benefits, there is an opportunity to convert to full-time status and access benefit packages. These roles do not involve travel and require candidates who are highly motivated, customer-service oriented, and capable of working efficiently under pressure in a fast-paced kitchen environment.

The deli person and grill cook roles involve preparing menu items to specific standards, maintaining sanitary conditions, and ensuring a smooth flow of operations within the cafe. Given the environment, successful candidates must demonstrate proficiency in using kitchen and dish room tools, equipment, and processes safely and effectively. Candidates should have a strong ability to interact politely and professionally with customers and coworkers, manage workload variations, and communicate clearly both verbally and in writing. These positions are vital to maintaining the high quality standards that Beaker's Cafe customers expect and require.

Employment in these roles is contingent upon satisfactory background checks, underscoring the company’s commitment to safety and integrity within its team. Overall, these positions offer candidates a chance to gain valuable experience in food service, enhance customer service skills, and potentially secure a more permanent, full-time role within a respected university dining establishment.
