Why Work Here?

We lead with peace, love, and a whole lot of euphoria, and we're looking for people who bring that same energy every single day.

About the Role

This is a dual-role opportunity for someone who thrives on variety, ownership, and making things run beautifully. You'll lead the Riverwalk Scoop Shop day-to-day and play a key supporting role in growing our catering business.

Responsibilities

  • Set the tone -- your energy, your smile, and your sense of urgency are contagious and your team will follow your lead
  • Create an environment where every customer leaves happier than when they walked in
  • Keep a sharp eye on labor, cost of goods, and daily operations -- the numbers matter as much as the vibe
  • Drive sales up and costs down without losing the fun
  • Uphold all food safety standards, POS accuracy, and cash handling procedures
  • Be available for late nights (past 11pm), weekends, and select holidays -- this is a dessert business, and the best hours aren't 9-to-5
  • Support the overall success of our catering operation based out of Riverwalk, with reach into New Jersey and potentially Florida and CT
  • Bring fresh, creative ideas to help grow the catering side of the business
  • Help implement and manage catering operations under the Chief Administrator & Catering Manager -- including planning, logistics, equipment, marketing, and customer satisfaction
  • Maintain presentation standards, portion control, and proper serving temperatures at every event
  • Show up for events: prep before and after, ensure operational excellence on-site, and motivate the crew
  • Support proper training of catering staff -- daily operations, customer relations, cleanliness, and staff orientation
  • Lead with honesty and integrity, always

Requirements

  • At least 2 years of retail food experience and a genuine understanding of small business operations
  • Strong leadership, communication, and people skills
  • Operational confidence and a team-focused mindset
