Farmers Market Manager

Run our Saturday farmers market operation in Overland Park, where TACO NACO KC first met many of its guests. This seasonal, early-morning role leads a small team through preparation, setup, service, and breakdown. You will be the point person for a busy outdoor shift and the face of our stand with regulars, market staff, and neighboring vendors.

What you’ll do

• Plan product quantities, equipment, supplies, and team assignments before market day.
• Lead loading, setup, POS readiness, food display, service, and breakdown.
• Coach the team on warm service, accurate orders, and a clean, organized stand.
• Monitor food quality, temperatures, sanitation, and safe transport and storage.
• Track sales, cash, inventory, and waste; report results and needs to restaurant leadership.
• Handle weather, staffing, or equipment changes calmly and communicate a practical plan.

What you bring

• Availability for early Saturdays during the market season and comfort with outdoor work and physical setup.
• Experience in a restaurant, market, event, retail, or hospitality setting; team leadership is preferred.
• Confidence giving direction to a small team while also serving guests yourself.
• Reliable follow-through, accurate cash handling, and good judgment when plans change.

If you enjoy the pace of a market morning and can make both guests and teammates feel taken care of, we would like to meet you.
