Food Service

Food Service Specialist

Our Food Service Specialist is focused on preparing our delicious Pete's Eats within our retail store locations. We're looking for someone that loves making food as much as we love eating it! The FSS will focus on maintaining the high standards of our food program, which we pride ourselves on being so much more than the ‘gas station burrito'. Focused on quality ingredients, this role will create food using the production lists of the store to ensure our customers always have something delicious to choose from when they visit.

About Stinker

Founded in 1936, Stinker is everyone's first choice for work, convenience, food, family and fun! Located across Idaho, Colorado and Wyoming, Stinker is a family-owned, people-focus, convenience leader. Led by our Skunktastik Mascot Polecat Pete, Stinker's purpose is to make our world a better place, one employee, one customer and one community at a time by being a bright spot in the lives we touch. We don't take ourselves too seriously, I mean come on… we have a skunk as a mascot, we look for opportunities to have fun each day and ensure we make decisions that put our people first. If we can't have fun doin' it, then we're doin' it wrong!

So, what does any of that have to do with you as a future member of Pete's Posse? It means that you are stepping into a people-oriented company that is growing, provides diverse opportunities, and cares about being a bright spot in the community! When you join forces with Stinker, not only do you get to join a Stinkin' awesome team, you get to open the door to endless possibilities. With a culture that makes our employees feel valued and a part of something bigger- this job stinks of success, and so can you!

What You'll Do

• Provide scent-sational customer service by creating a welcoming environment.
• Prioritize food safety by adhering to proper food preparation guidelines, monitor food time/temperature standards and follow required label and time processes- no skunky business, just proper storage and handling.
• Be a clean freak, in a good way! Ensure that all equipment cleaning and sanitation schedules are being adhered to and tracked.
• Make food, obviously. You'll learn the full Pete's Eats menu and work with Store Leadership to ensure the store offerings match what customers are buying using store production lists.
• Ensure proper rotation of product through the cold case and hot case.

What You'll Need

• Solution focused thinking- You get 5 minutes to complain, and then we solve problems and kick tail!
• Effective time management. In the retail environment, one minute it's slow, then the next there's a bus full of customers hungry for food. We need someone who will rise to the occasion and go with the flow.
• Prior food service experience is a plus.
• Ability to learn new concepts and stay organized, maintaining a high level of attention to detail while multitasking (there are a lot of moving pieces and skunks headed in every direction!).

Requirements

• Must be at least 19 years of age or older.
• HS Diploma or GED preferred.
• You don't need to be an Olympic athlete, but you do need to be able to balance on a step stool or step ladder, lift up to 50 lbs., and work from floor to eye level.
• Able to work in a cooler at an average temperature of 32 degrees (hey, at least it's not Antarctica).
• Completion of our online Food Safety class within the first 90 days of employment
