Staff will frequently work under stress and must maintain composure and adhere to safety policies to minimize hazards. This position also requires regular travel within district or state boundaries, sometimes under irregular or extended hours, and potential exposure to biological agents or communicable diseases. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking an entry-level position in food services where they can learn on the job while contributing to a critical function within an educational or institutional environment. The role places a strong emphasis on food safety, cleanliness, safety policy compliance, and teamwork, making it suitable for those who are detail-oriented, physically capable, and eager to contribute positively to food service operations.
