This is not your typical kitchen job. You will cook, serve and interact with customers in
teams of 2 or 3 at a time. This is a food truck stationed within The Adventure
Park at Sandy Spring (The Adventure Park.com). We are a happy company serving
happy and hungry climbers. Free climbing in your off time! Customers order on a
kiosk, so your contact with customers is mostly for answering questions. You will be part chef, part server, part customer service. You will need to have a friendly and happy disposition. No grumpy kitchen workers allowed! You will almost always have an assistant cook working with you. We are open 7 days a week in the summer and weekends and school holidays in the fall. We are currently hiring for our fall schedule of weekends and school holidays only. This job is seasonal-- We will close for the winter in December and re-open again in March. Many of our workers return year after year.
Great job for teachers or college students!
