Pay: $17.00 - $18.50 per hour

Location: Albany International Airport Quick Service

Company: OHM Concession Group

Job Type: Full-time and Part-time available

Forget the usual restaurant headaches. Welcome to the airport. No third-party delivery apps. No street-side chaos. Every single guest is a ticketed passenger inside a secure environment. This is pure customer service. We are delivering true, back in the day hospitality, 6 days a week. (Guaranteed every Sunday off!)

About Us: OHM Concession Group owns, operates, and manages high-volume restaurants in airports across the United States. We pride ourselves on delivering excellent customer service and serving great food within a fun, fast-paced work environment.

We are looking for upbeat, highly motivated early birds to join our opening team at our quick-service location in the Albany Airport. If you thrive in a high-energy atmosphere, love making guests smile, and want a reliable early morning schedule (starting at 3:00 AM or 4:00 AM and finishing up by 11:00 AM or 12:00 PM), we want to meet you!

The Role: As an Early Morning Crew Member, you will be cross-trained in both Front of House (FOH) and Back of House (BOH) operations. To succeed here, you need a relentlessly positive attitude, a sense of urgency, and the ability to work seamlessly under pressure alongside your team. You’ll be responsible for opening the restaurant, delivering genuine hospitality, and preparing fresh, quality food that keeps travelers satisfied and moving.

What You’ll Do:

• Guest Service (FOH): Greet every traveler with a warm smile and prompt service. Take orders accurately, handle transactions, and deliver the signature "My Pleasure!" hospitality.
• Prep & Execute (BOH): Prepare food for the breakfast and lunch rushes using approved recipes. Ensure top-tier quality, perfect serving temperatures, and strict portion control.
• Cross-Training Flexibility: Seamlessly jump between taking orders at the register and assembling food in the kitchen to support the team wherever it gets busy.
• Maintain Standards: Follow all food safety regulations, proper food handling, and sanitation guidelines.
• Keep It Clean: Clean, sanitize, and maintain the dining room, front counter, and kitchen workstations throughout your shift. Set the restaurant up for a successful transition to the afternoon team.

What We’re Looking For:

• This position is strictly an early morning job. Reliable availability for early morning shifts starting between 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM.
• An upbeat, friendly attitude with a willingness to learn both front and back-of-house roles. (Previous quick-service or cooking experience is a plus, but we will train the right attitude!)
• Ability to work on your feet for long periods, bend, kneel, and lift up to 25 pounds.
• High school diploma or GED.
• Ability to communicate effectively in English.
• Legally authorized to work in the U.S. and able to pass a pre-employment background check to obtain an airport security badge.

Why Work With Us? (The Perks)

• Beat the Traffic: Enjoy early shifts that leave your entire afternoon free!
• Competitive Wages: $17.00 - $18.50/hr based on experience.
• Holiday Pay: Time-and-a-half pay on six major holidays.
• Food Discounts: Enjoy employee meals during your shift.
• Benefits: Full-time employees are eligible for medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Growth: Real room for advancement within the company—we love to promote from within!
