El Rey
Philadelphia, PA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/16/2025 CLOSED ON 5/16/2025

What are the responsibilities and job description for the Food Runner position at El Rey?

Affiliated with STARR Restaurants, El Rey captures the essence of Mexican home cooking, bringing a unique south-of-the-border experience to the big city. Boisterous and broken-in like a laidback roadside cantina, the dining room hums from midday to late-night, with booths and a roomy counter nodding to the space’s former life as a hopping all-night diner. Eclectic bric-a-brac, like folk art and Spanish movie posters, dress the dizzying walls, providing plenty of visual stimuli for eaters digging into authentic tacos, ceviches, tortas, enchiladas, sopes and more. Add a bar stocked with the best tequilas, mezcals and cervezas and you’ve got a cantina fit for a king.

The team is looking for Food Runners to help bring a unique south-of-the-border experience to the big city.

This position offers a comprehensive package including:

  • Competitive Hourly Rate
  • Paid Sick Time
  • Commuter Benefits
  • Referral Bonus Programs
  • Dining Discounts at over 25 Affiliated STARR Restaurants
  • Opportunity for Career Advancement and Professional Growth

Qualified candidates will have:

  • Assist servers as necessary
  • Maintain the pass's cleanliness, support chefs with plates and serving utensils, and ticket times.
  • Run food from pass to tables
  • Check silverware, plate ware for cleanliness, defective pieces
  • Proper stacking of soiled plates and glasses in the dish-room
  • Maintain cleanliness standards throughout the restaurant

El Rey is an equal opportunity employer. All applicants will be considered for employment without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran, or disability status.
