What is a Concessionaire?

Crew members are important pieces to the operations of a certain establishment. Most generally, crew members work in the food industry, but they are known to work in other industries as well. Because there are so many opportunities attached to this position, education requirements can also vary.

The best part of being a crew member is that you're part of a team. You work together as a team and fail as a team. That's the same people who are going to have your back at work, so you might want to spend some time getting to know them as best as you can.

Crew trainers mentor new employees at fast-food restaurants, imparting everything they need to know about satisfactory customer service, sharing their wisdom and experience gained on the job.

Working at fast-food restaurants is the very first job for many, so it is safe to assume that a crew trainer is not just someone who gives instructions on daily tasks and restaurant processes. He/She or she often functions as a kind of life coach as well, setting an example of a viable work ethic and a forward-thinking attitude.

Having a high school diploma is more than enough, as far as formal education goes, but you have to know the ropes of your restaurant to be promoted to crew trainer and have experience under your belt at every possible position as a crew member. You know how the cooking equipment and drink dispensers work, you are familiar with taking orders and payments at the counter and in drive-through service alike.

Working hours are flexible, so you can work in various shifts, but forget about the part-time if you want to be a crew trainer. Working on the weekends and doing overtime is more likely. But hey, with the perks come more responsibility.

Food runners are in charge of serving and delivering food to the right table at the appropriate time. You will welcome the customers, providing and explaining the items on the menus to them. You will help the customers relate their issues to the kitchen staff in which you prioritize and process their orders.

If the customer is not happy with the order, you have to help relate the issues to the appropriate quarters to help resolve them if it is something you cannot do yourself. Likewise, you will make sure the table is neat enough to be used by new customers. After being used, you will clean the tables and pack the dirty dishes back to the kitchen for the dishwashers.

Since the food runner will be standing and walking most of the day while simultaneously carrying food orders and dishes, you must have good physical stamina. Not just that, but you must be effective and efficient in finishing tasks by moving and acting fast while moving from the kitchen to the dining table and clearing tables. You will be paid an average of $20,549 yearly.
