Maryland Heights, MO Full Time | Part Time
POSTED ON 10/16/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/13/2027

As a food runner/expo, your ultimate goal is to run hot food to the correct table and the server will hand out food to the guests. Because you are the last of the staff to see the meal before it reaches the customer, so it's important for you to know exactly how each dish is supposed to look. A sense of urgency is key; food needs to delivered hot! A successful food runner has the ability to stay calm in difficult situations, keeps a cool head, does not take things personally, and always stays professional no matter what the situation.

No two days are alike and no matter how busy things may get: we are a group of people who promote teamwork, encourage a fun work environment, and share common goals of making our guest's experience memorable. Providing service to our guest is an important part of your job and how well you perform these functions will not only promote the success of our restaurant but will also reflect the cash in your pocket.

At the end of the day, guests go home happy and look forward to coming back; you make money and have job security.

Job Requirements:

  • Keep a positive attitude. Restaurants can be busy, stressful places but you remain cool under pressure with the ability to work quickly and efficiently to ensure our guest's experience is great!
  • Consider every guest an asset. We are dependent on the guests choosing our restaurant and strive for them to visit again. The food and service we give today, affects how busy we are tomorrow!
  • Assess and meet the guests' needs. Not everyone has the same needs so you need to be flexible.
  • Be prepared and ready to learn. This requires you to come to work on time and ready to work with a "Get it done" attitude. You are eager to learn new duties and responsibilities to advance your career.
  • Work with a team of professionals. You enjoy working with others and through collaboration, our kitchen team turns out delicious food. Sometimes this means being flexible and using your knowledge to help others.
  • Exhibit clean work habits and understand your shared ownership of keeping a safe and clean work area.
