Kitchen Ambassador

Who we are

At Picnic, we’re reinventing the way employees experience lunch at work. By partnering with top local restaurants and batching hundreds of orders, we make it easy for companies to offer high-quality, individually packed meals, without fees or tips. Our mission is to create a seamless, affordable, and joyful lunch experience that benefits employees, employers and local restaurants.

About the Role

We are hiring a Kitchen Ambassador to serve as Picnic’s primary on site representative inside our cloud kitchen facilities.

• Maintain clean, organized, and efficient staging areas
• Support daily kitchen operations during lunch rush
• Identify bottlenecks or issues and escalate as needed
• Help onboard and support courier drivers at the kitchen level
• Provide feedback to operations leadership on kitchen workflow improvements

Leadership Opportunity

• Leadership ability is a strong plus. Kitchen Ambassadors who demonstrate ownership and operational awareness may take on additional responsibilities such as shift coordination, kitchen training support, or driver flow management.

Qualifications

• Ability to lift up to 30 pounds and remain on your feet during busy periods
• iPhone or Android smartphone
• Strong communication skills, in person and digital
