What You'll Do:

Logistics & Deliveries:

Pick up and deliver supplies, promotional items, and materials between our restaurant locations, vendors, and events.

Regularly wear the mascot suit for school events and public appearances. You'll represent the brand in a fun, interactive way! You can anticipate a minimum of once per week.

Meeting Representation:

Attend meetings with or on behalf of the Director of Marketing, taking notes and ensuring proper follow-up on action items.

Restaurant Support:

Assist in-restaurant operations, especially during high-volume periods or promotional efforts. This will involve learning & mastering all positions within the restaurant and becoming assistant manager certified.

Assist with capturing photo and video content at events, in-store promotions, and community activations.

Work closely with the Director of Marketing to showcase events, promotions, catering, team members, and community partnerships across our locations.

Flexible Admin Support:
