Family Run Restaurant jobs in London, ON

About Nooners

For 40 years, Nooners has been a London favourite for fast, fresh, homemade-style lunches. We are a busy, cafeteria-style, counter-service restaurant where customers order directly, watch their meals being prepared, and take their meals to their table.

We’re known for speed, consistency, friendliness, and quality — the four pillars of the Nooners experience.

Position Overview – Lunch Line Specialist

This role centers around a one-to-one service flow:
Customer orders → you prepare → you pass it down the line → repeat.

You’ll work with sandwiches, salads, hot meals, soups, and daily specials in a steady, high-flow lunch environment. Strong organization, clear communication, and excellent time-management are essential to keep the line moving smoothly.

If you enjoy staying busy, working with people, and contributing to a tight, efficient team, this role is a great fit.

Who Thrives in This Role

This job is ideal for someone who:

• Enjoys a fast-paced environment
• Communicates well with customers AND teammates
• Can manage their time effectively under pressure
• Stays organized while preparing fresh meals quickly
• Likes interacting directly with customers
• Works well independently AND within a small team
• Takes pride in accuracy, consistency, and cleanliness
• Can keep the flow steady during peak lunch periods
• Offers steady daytime hours and a predictable schedule ideal for work–life balance.

⭐ This role is not suitable for:

Because this is a busy, cafeteria-style lunch environment with steady, continuous customer flow, this position requires strong communication, awareness, pace, and the ability to stay organized under pressure. For that reason, this role is not a good fit for applicants who:

• Have only worked in very slow-paced cafés, delis, or low-volume counter service
• Come from button-based, automated, or pre-built food environments with minimal real preparation
• Struggle with clear verbal communication in a customer-facing setting
• Have difficulty learning quickly or adapting during active service
• Prefer to focus on one task at a time instead of managing flow and staying aware of the line
• Become overwhelmed during steady or fast lunch rushes
• Need constant direction, reminders, or step-by-step supervision to stay on pace
• Have trouble managing time, speed, and multiple responsibilities simultaneously
• Lack the situational awareness required to maintain flow, restock proactively, and keep the line moving

This role requires someone who consistently brings strong communication skills, solid time-management, good judgment, reliable pace, and the ability to stay organized, aware, and confident throughout an active lunch period.

Key Responsibilities

• Take customer orders clearly, professionally, and accurately
• Prepare sandwiches, salads, hot meals, and specials to Nooners standards
• Maintain a clean, stocked, and organized lunch line
• Manage time effectively during high-volume order flow
• Assist with pre-rush and post-rush restocking
• Perform basic prep (slicing, portioning, stocking ingredients)
• Follow all food safety and sanitation procedures
• Use POS accurately
• Communicate clearly with kitchen and teammates to maintain smooth service
• Work independently with confidence while supporting the team during rush

Qualifications Required:

• 3–5 years of strong customer service and communication experience specifically in a fast-paced food environment (deli, café, cafeteria, market-style, sandwich line, or similar)
• Strong time-management skills — able to stay ahead of flow and maintain pace without reminders
• Strong multitasking ability — comfortable handling multiple steps and orders at once
• Clear, confident verbal communication with customers and teammates
• Consistent pace and a reliable “hustle” mindset throughout the lunch rush
• Ability to work independently AND as part of a small, fast-moving team
• Reliable, punctual, and professional
• Food Handler Certification (or willingness to obtain)

Preferred:

• Experience in high-volume counter service
• Experience in busy lunch environments with continuous flow
• Familiarity with maintaining a clean, stocked, and organized service line
• Ability to proactively restock and prep without being asked
