Concessioner
This position entails working with food. Hygiene will be of the utmost importance at all times. Long hair with dirty hands and finger nails will not be tolerated. Remember, everyone coming to the fair is there to have a good time. In most cases the fair only comes to town once a year, and everybody is looking forward to this outing. Nobody wants their day spoilt by bad food.
For this job you will have to be fluent English, multi task orientated and focus on customer satisfaction. You will be required to be clean and well groomed, have a friendly disposition and be confident in working with money. You should be in a position to lift a minimum of 20kg or more and stand for long periods of time.
As with any job, you will sometimes have to attend meetings, so everybody is on par with the day's schedule, including break times and periodic re-stocking of the food stand/trailer during operating hours, which will sometimes have to be done in YOUR break time.
The duties of a Concessioner include, but are not limited to:
- Assembly of the food stand/trailer together with your team, as well as laying the electrical cables (lead lines) from the generator or power box.
- Maintenance of the stand or trailer, including greasing, washing and sometimes polishing or waxing, and changing light bulbs.
- Daily cleaning of the stand/trailer, including cleaning of the fryers, fridges and more.
- Restocking of supplies inside the stand/trailer, as well as offloading new supplies as it arrives, and packing supply trailers.
- Preparing foodstuffs, including cotton candy, popcorn, burgers and hotdogs, corn dogs and nachos.
- You will be responsible for cleaning up around your assigned food stall/trailer during and after the show. Again, cleanliness is next to godliness!
- Ensuring that food and sanitation policies are strictly adhered to.
- Tearing down (disassembly) of your food stall/trailer so it is ready for towing to the next spot.
