The right person will be:

- Reliable and punctual.
- Friendly and comfortable talking with customers.
- Able to work independently without needing constant direction.
- Detail-oriented and organized.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
- Willing to learn about different cuts, cooking methods and our products.
- Physically capable of lifting boxes and working on their feet throughout the day.
- Comfortable working in refrigerated environments.
