Food Truck Worker (Spring 2026)

Adventure Park Food Truck Position

This is not your typical kitchen job. You will cook, serve and interact with customers in groups of 2 or 3 at a time. This is a food truck stationed within The Adventure Park at Sandy Spring (TheAdventurePark.com). We are a happy company serving happy and hungry climbers. Free climbing in your off time! Customers order on a kiosk, so your contact with customers is mostly answering questions and handing them their food. You will alternate between being a chef, server, and customer service representative. You will need to have a friendly disposition and have a willingness to learn. We are currently hiring for the end of summer/ fall which consists of the truck being open 7 days a week until the last week of August. Then it will become weekends and special opening days.

Do you have your own reliable transportation? Public transportation to The Adventure Park is not a viable option for this job.
