Food Runner

$16.9 per hour

Lantern Crest

Job Title: Food Runner
Location: Santee, CA
Position Type: Part Time

About Us:
The Heritage Steakhouse at Lantern Crest is East County's first premier, upscale dining destination known for its innovative menu, craft cocktails, and its commitment to service. We are dedicated to creating unparalleled culinary experiences and fostering a culture of excellence while bringing something new to the community.

Job Summary:
At the Heritage, the journey of a dish doesn't end at the pass-it begins there. We are seeking a high-energy, detail-oriented food runner to be the vital link between our culinary team and our guests. In fine dining, the runner is more than a delivery person; you are the final checkpoint for excellence.

What You'll Do:
  • The Final Polish: Conduct a final quality check on every plate, ensuring garnishes and presentation meet our executive chef's exacting standards.
  • Precision Delivery: Use "Open Service" techniques to place dishes without interrupting the guest's experience.
  • Expert Knowledge: Maintain a deep understanding of ingredients and allergens to confidently answer guest questions upon delivery.
  • The Orchestrator: Work in lockstep with the Expeditor and Servers to maintain a flawless tempo during peak service hours.
Who You Are:
  • The Professional: You possess a sense of urgency but move with the composure of a seasoned veteran.
  • The Perfectionist: You notice the small things-a smudge on a plate rim or a slightly tilted garnish.
  • The Team Player: You thrive in a high-pressure environment where communication is key.
Requirements:
  • Experience: Minimum of 1-2 years in a full service restaurant

  • Communication & Interpersonal Skills : Must excel at clear, courteous communication with both guests and internal teams.
