Physical & Work Requirements:

- Experience in catering, events, or mobile service operations
Schedule & Work Environment
- Based out of Boonton, NJ

-Combination of weekdays and Saturdays (occasional Sundays)
-Typical weekly hours range from ~25–40+ depending on season and demand
Compensation & Perks
- Overtime eligibility during busy periods
- Meals provided for longer events
- 401(k) available after 1 year
- Opportunity to work with well‑known brands and unique experiential events
Why Anechó Coffee?
