The job entails the preparation, storage, and displaying pre-made meals for customers; in its most simplistic sense. It is a fast paced job with multiple responsibilities such as completing the assigned tasks, packaging the food prepared by the cooks, displaying the food products for customers, fulfilling customer requests, prepare food based on what is needed for the displays, and organizing the products.

Giving customers satisfactory service by putting their needs first and having an understanding personality. Keeping the work place clean and sanitary.

Upon completion of tasks, help others with their jobs: taking out trash, serving customers at the hot food station, and whatever other assistance is needed. I prepare and or package over 30 different products, all of which come in different amounts, in as much as 4 or 5 hours.
