Full job description
The Yay Company
Kitchen & Service Assistant
Role Overview
The Kitchen & Service Assistant keeps the kitchen running and the café stocked. They support the Lead Cook with prep and production, handle labeling and staging for distribution, and are the face of Yay during lunch service and grab-and-go. Depending on the market and school, this role may also include packing food for delivery to spoke schools and running that delivery. This is a hands-on, fast-paced role where anticipation, accuracy, and presence with students are the standard.
Who You Report To
Your Kitchen Manager, with day-to-day direction coming from the Lead Cook during production.
Core Responsibilities
Kitchen Prep Support
Handle mise en place for the Lead Cook — washing, chopping, weighing, and portioning ingredients in the order they are needed
Keep the Lead Cook's station clear between production runs so they always have a clean surface to work on
Anticipate what is needed next and have it ready — the Lead Cook should never have to stop production for something you should have already done
Labeling & Staging for Distribution
Label every item leaving the kitchen — item name, date, quantity, and use-by date — the moment it is filled or packed, no exceptions
Stage items by school, service time, or route as directed by the Kitchen Manager
Record quantities staged on the production sheet and notify the Kitchen Manager when staging is complete so distribution or pickup can begin
Spoke School Packing & Delivery
Pack food for delivery to spoke schools per the Kitchen Manager's production and route schedule — correct quantities, correctly labeled, staged in the right order for the route
Load and transport food to spoke school locations safely and on time, maintaining temperature standards throughout
Confirm delivery with the receiving Lead Cook or school contact and flag any discrepancies immediately to the Kitchen Manager
Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license required for roles that include delivery
Lunch Distribution
Assemble trays, organize pre-order pickup by classroom or grade, and ensure every student receives the correct order — whether at the hub kitchen or at a spoke school location
Flag any discrepancies to the Lead Cook or Kitchen Manager immediately
Grab & Go Café
Stock and maintain the grab-and-go fridge and pantry shelves before and during service per the planogram
Confirm items are in the correct location, prices are visible, and shelves are faced and full
Run checkout accurately and warmly
Monitor stock levels throughout service and flag anything running low before it runs out
Cleaning & Kitchen Support
Clean as you go — clear the Lead Cook's station, wipe down surfaces, and wash and sanitize equipment between tasks
Participate fully in end-of-shift kitchen breakdown — this is a team effort
Clock out on BambooHR on location at your actual end time
Day at a Glance
Opening — Set up your prep station, pull ingredients as directed by the Lead Cook, and begin mise en place before production starts.
Production — Execute prep tasks in the order the Lead Cook needs them. Label everything as it is packed or staged. If your role includes delivery, pack and load spoke school orders before your route window.
Service — Distribute pre-order lunches on site and/or at spoke schools, run grab-and-go checkout, and restock shelves. Be present, be warm, be fast.
Closing — Clean your area, rotate remaining stock, wipe down the grab-and-go fridge and shelves, and assist with full kitchen breakdown.
What Success Looks Like
The Lead Cook never has to stop production to do something you should have already handled
Every item leaving the kitchen is labeled correctly, every time
Spoke school deliveries go out on time, at temperature, and with zero packing errors
Students receive the right order, on time, with a warm interaction
The grab-and-go café is stocked, faced, and running smoothly throughout service
Your section of the kitchen is clean and organized from open to close
What We're Looking For
Experience in a kitchen, café, or food service environment — you know how to move with urgency and purpose
Strong attention to detail — labeling, staging, and portioning accuracy are non-negotiable
A people-first mindset — you enjoy interacting with students and take pride in making service feel welcoming
Reliable and self-directed — you don't wait to be told what needs doing; you see it and handle it
A team player who takes ownership of their station and shows up for the people around them
Comfortable on the road if delivery is part of your role — reliable transportation and a valid driver's license required
Food handler's certification or willingness to obtain within 30 days of hire
What We Offer
Competitive hourly pay
A high-growth, mission-driven company where your work directly impacts what kids eat every day
A team that values accountability, transparency, and operators who take pride in their craft
Real opportunity to grow within TYC as we expand into new markets
