Job Description

We help you make it! This opportunity is with a reputable retail food store known as CHEF'STORE, a division of US Foods, which is dedicated to providing top-quality food products and exceptional customer experiences. CHEF'STORE operates in the retail grocery sector, specializing in delivering high-quality food products to meet the needs of both everyday shoppers and commercial customers alike. The store focuses heavily on customer service, quality assurance, and having a well-organized retail environment that ensures customers find what they need with ease. As a part-time position offering 20-30 hours weekly with a pay starting at $18.65 per hour, this job is ideal for individuals seeking flexible working hours including weekends and holidays. The role demands physical endurance such as repetitively lifting freight weighing between 40 to 80 pounds and working in varying temperature conditions including freezers and coolers, which exemplifies the demanding nature and essential physical qualifications for this position.

As a key member of the CHEF'STORE team, the individual in this role will primarily work in the front end, sales floor, and stocking areas, ensuring that customers have an impeccable experience from the moment they interact with the store to the time they leave. Responsibilities will span customer service interactions, order processing at the point of sale using various technologies such as handheld scan guns, numeric keypads, and countertop scales, and physical stocking tasks which include product rotation with a focus on FIFO (First In, First Out) inventory methods. The role also involves maintaining store cleanliness, assisting with inventory audits, price label adjustments, and executing opening and closing procedures. Candidates need to exhibit strong customer service skills, basic to moderate computer and cash handling competencies, and be comfortable with frequently moving, lifting, and carrying moderate to heavy items. Attention to detail in merchandising and inventory accuracy is crucial to minimize shrinkage and improve sales effectiveness. Employees are expected to foster a safe and welcoming environment for staff and customers, adhering strictly to safety policies and reporting any issues proactively.

The work environment is retail-oriented and public-facing, thus requiring candidates to be adaptable to varying temperature settings from cold storage to ambient store temperatures, sometimes working outdoors in differing weather. While largely conducted on level surfaces, some climbing and balancing on elevated platforms may be necessary. This position is suitable for individuals who excel in a fast-paced retail environment, possess strong interpersonal skills, and demonstrate the ability to multitask efficiently. The role provides opportunities to gain valuable retail experience, develop customer service expertise, and enhance physical and technical skills essential for advancement within the retail or food distribution industries. Additionally, benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, and other employee benefits are available, making this a competitive and rewarding part-time role at CHEF'STORE.
