Maintain cleanliness and organization of all service areas.
-
Oversee alcohol service compliance (ID checks, responsible service).
-
Monitor inventory and communicate restocking needs.
-
Step into any role as needed (register, runner, service).
What We’re Looking For:
-
Experience in food service, concessions, bar, or quick-service operations.
-
Proven ability to lead a team in a fast-paced environment.
-
Strong organization and communication skills.
-
Comfortable managing high-volume rushes without losing control of service.

Must meet requirements for alcohol service (Iowa compliance).

Includes weekends, holidays, and peak weather days.

Hours vary based on weather and demand.
