Job Description
This job opportunity is with an independently owned and operated Del Taco franchise located in Elk Grove, California. Unlike corporate-operated locations, this establishment is run by a dedicated local franchisee who manages every aspect of employment and operations within the restaurant. As such, all employment decisions including wages, hiring, staffing, discipline, and scheduling are governed by the franchisee. The franchise is part of the larger Del Taco brand, a popular fast-food restaurant chain known for its Mexican-inspired menu featuring tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and other signature favorites. The restaurant prides itself on creating an inviting environment where team members feel valued and eager to contribute to an exceptional guest dining experience. With a focus on quality food, friendly service, and cleanliness, this location upholds the brand's reputation within the community.
The Team Member position at this Del Taco franchise is an entry-level role vital to the day-to-day success of the restaurant. Team Members are tasked with providing excellent guest service by engaging with customers in a cheerful and helpful manner to ensure a satisfying visit.

Team Members will be part of a dynamic team atmosphere valuing respect, collaboration, and mutual support.
