• Work Environment: Willingness and ability to work in environments with significant temperature variations (hot near the smokers/fire, cold during loading/unloading and storage).
• Safety Handling: Comfort and proficiency in the safe handling of potentially dangerous tools, including knives, axes, wood splitters, and raw/cooked meats.
• Communication: Ability to read, write, and communicate effectively to manage processes, coordinate with team members, and handle inventory.
• Certification: ServSafe certification or an equivalent food handler certification is a significant asset.
