Expo/Food Runner

Food Runner / Expo - High‑Volume Pier Restaurants •

THIS IS A TIPPED POSITION

•Position Overview The Food Runner/Expo plays a critical role in keeping our three pier‑side restaurants running smoothly. All food is prepared in one central, high‑volume kitchen, and this position ensures every dish reaches the correct restaurant, table, and guest quickly, accurately, and beautifully. This is a fast‑paced, physically demanding role that requires sharp communication, strong teamwork, and the ability to stay organized under pressure. Key Responsibilities Food Running — Deliver dishes from the central kitchen to three separate restaurant locations along the pier, ensuring accuracy, speed, and proper presentation. Expo Coordination — Act as the communication bridge between kitchen and service teams; verify ticket accuracy, prioritize orders, and maintain flow during peak volume. Quality Control — Double‑check plating, temperature, modifiers, and special requests before dishes leave the line. High‑Volume Support — Manage multiple tickets at once, organize outgoing orders, and help maintain a clean, efficient expo line. Physical Demands — Lift and carry heavy trays, walk long distances along the pier, and stay on your feet for the duration of the shift. Team Communication — Work closely with servers, cooks, and management to keep service smooth and consistent across all three restaurants. What Success Looks Like You move confidently and quickly between restaurants without sacrificing accuracy. You keep the expo line organized even during rushes. You communicate clearly and respectfully with both front‑ and back‑of‑house teams. You maintain a calm, professional presence in a high‑energy environment. Guests receive hot, correct, beautifully presented food every time. Requirements Prior experience as a food runner or expo preferred, but not required. Ability to lift 25-50 lbs and carry large trays safely. Comfortable walking long distances and working outdoors on the pier. Strong multitasking and communication skills. Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑volume environment. Cocoa Beach Pier is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer.
