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
