Evening Food Service Team Member — Full Time
Tideway Market | Hancock, ME

Full time, 32 hours/week | Shift: 12:45 PM to close (as late as 10 PM) | One weekend day required
Role Overview
Tideway Market is a family-owned convenience store, fuel station, and kitchen in Hancock. We are more than a gas stop — we are a gathering place, and our food is a big part of why people keep coming back. We are hiring a full-time Evening Food Service Team Member to run our grill/fry and pizza stations through the dinner rush and close the kitchen down right. You will work alongside our Evening Food Service Leader as part of a small, steady evening crew.
Our mission is simple: everyone who walks through our doors leaves better off than when they arrived. If that sounds like the kind of place you want to work, we would like to meet you.
Key Responsibilities
Cook and serve grill, fryer, and pizza orders quickly and to standard through evening and dinner rushes
Prep, stock, and hold product so we do not run out — and so quality never slips to get there
Serve customers directly with genuine friendliness, including at the register when needed
Follow all food safety, temperature, and holding standards every shift
Complete closing duties: full station cleaning, equipment breakdown, restocking, and setting the morning crew up for success
Sign off on closing checklists honestly and accurately
Communicate clearly with your shift lead about issues, shortages, or anything that needs attention
Cross-train into additional areas of the store (cooler, retail floor) once you are solid in food service
Requirements & Qualifications
Reliable. You show up, on time, every scheduled shift. This is a closing role and the team counts on you.
Available 12:45 PM to close, including at least one weekend day.
Physically able to stand and stay active for a full 8-hour shift and lift or carry up to 30 lbs.
A sense of urgency during rushes, with the ability to stay calm and friendly under pressure.
Willing and able to learn. We will train you on every station.
Team-first attitude with zero interest in drama or gossip.
Experience is a plus. Food service, line cook, or kitchen experience helps — but attitude and work ethic matter most.
Must be 18 or older.

$19.00 per hour, based on experience
$2.00/hour summer bonus, paid weekly through the end of September
90-day raise review — your progress gets recognized, not forgotten
