Day Shift Weekend Food Runner

Food Runner Expo (Weekend Availability Required)

Job Description

Are you a master of organization with lightning‑fast reflexes and a passion for perfect plates? Do you thrive in the energetic buzz of a busy kitchen, ensuring every dish reaches its destination exactly as it should?

Anna’s House is a favorite spot to kickstart the day with an incredible breakfast and brunch experience! Our guests rave about our traditional and dietary‑inclusive menus and the warm, welcoming atmosphere we provide. Behind every perfectly plated dish is a dedicated team, and we're looking for a crucial new member to join us!

We are seeking a highly organized, observant, and quick‑thinking Food Runner / Expediter to be the vital link between our talented kitchen and our hungry guests. If you love the thrill of a busy restaurant, have an eagle eye for detail, and are ready to play a pivotal role in delivering deliciousness, then this is the perfect opportunity for you!

What You’ll Do (and become a pro at!)

As our Food Runner / Expediter, you’ll be the conductor of our breakfast symphony, ensuring every dish is a masterpiece and every order reaches the right table, hot and fresh. Your key responsibilities will include:

The "Final Check": Acting as the last line of defense for quality control, you’ll meticulously check each plate for accuracy, presentation, and temperature before it leaves the kitchen.

Orchestrating the Orders: You’ll organize and prioritize dishes coming off the line, ensuring that complete orders are sent out together in a timely manner.

Speedy Delivery: Efficiently and safely running hot and cold food items from the kitchen to the correct tables in the dining room, often navigating a busy floor.

Communicating is Key: Being the direct line of communication between the kitchen staff and the front‑of‑house team. You’ll relay important information about dietary restrictions, special requests, and timing of orders.

Set for Success: Assisting with plating, adding garnishes, and ensuring all necessary condiments or utensils accompany each dish.

Keeping it Clean: Maintaining a clean and organized expo line and pass‑through area, helping with light cleaning duties as needed.

Team Collaboration: Working seamlessly with restaurant leadership, cooks, servers, and bussers to ensure a smooth and efficient service flow.

Qualifications

Exceptional attention to detail: You’re keen‑eyed and won’t let a missing garnish or incorrect side go unnoticed.

Strong organizational skills: You can manage multiple orders and priorities in a fast‑paced environment.

Excellent communication skills: You can clearly and effectively communicate with both kitchen and front‑of‑house teams.

Ability to work under pressure: You thrive in a high‑energy setting and can maintain composure during busy rushes.

Physical stamina: You’re comfortable bending, standing, walking, and carrying plates of food for extended periods.

A positive attitude and a team‑player mentality! You’re ready to jump in and support wherever needed.

Reliability: Punctual, dependable, and ready to contribute to each shift.

Prior experience as a food runner, expediter, or in a similar restaurant role is a plus, but not required. We’re willing to train a motivated individual with the right attitude.

Why You’ll Love Working with Us

Be at the heart of the action! You’ll play a critical role in our daily success and guest satisfaction.

Consistent early morning/daytime shifts – get your workday done and enjoy your evenings!

Opportunity to learn and grow: Gain valuable experience in restaurant operations and potentially advance within our team.

Ready to get your plates in order and join a team that values your precision and speed?

If you’re a meticulous and efficient individual looking for an exciting role in a beloved breakfast restaurant, we encourage you to apply! Come help us ensure every guest receives a perfect, delicious start to their day.
