• Develop and maintain knowledge of deli and store products, including features, pricing, and location
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment to promote health, safety, and a professional appearance
• Follow all food safety, sanitation, and personal hygiene guidelines to ensure compliance and guest safety
• Operate deli equipment (slicers, scales, packaging tools) and POS systems accurately
• Stock, rotate, and face products using FIFO methods to ensure freshness and minimize waste
• Monitor inventory levels and report low, excess, or damaged items to leadership
• Communicate clearly with teammates and collaborate across departments to support storewide efficiency and guest satisfaction
• Adhere to company policies and procedures, including attendance, conduct, and dress code standards
• Support loss prevention efforts by staying alert and following proper procedures
• Assist with cleaning, restocking, and supporting other departments as needed
• Remain productive during slower periods by maintaining department readiness and preparing products
• Other job duties as assigned

• Required: High school diploma, GED, or equivalent work experience
