Restaurant Hiring jobs in Richmond, BC

Company Overview

Nero Waffles is an independent, family-owned business with several locations in Vancouver. We make authentic Belgian waffles and prepare much of our food in-house from scratch.

We are a values-based company focused on honesty, integrity, respect, inclusiveness and equality. We believe attitude and team fit are just as important as experience, and we are looking for someone dependable, organized and willing to help wherever needed.

Job Overview

We are looking for a reliable and organized Restaurant Logistics Driver to help keep our locations running smoothly.

This is not a typical delivery-driver job. Most of the role involves moving prepared food (such as dough and batter), ingredients, supplies, linen and equipment between our locations, as well as completing regular pick ups from suppliers and running errands. You will also help with stock checks, placing orders, order lists, storage organization and basic vehicle care.

The role is well suited to someone who enjoys working independently, being on the road, and taking responsibility for making sure the right products get to the right place at the right time.

Responsibilities

• Drive the company van between Nero locations and suppliers.
• Transport prepared doughs, batters, custards, ingredients, supplies, linen and equipment.

• Put away delivered goods and follow proper dating, rotation and FIFO procedures.
• Help keep storage, fridge and freezer areas organized and tidy.
• Communicate with managers and team leaders about deliveries, shortages, substitutions or other issues.
• Keep receipts, invoices and mileage records organized.
• Complete pre- and post-shift vehicle inspections.
• Keep the company van clean and report any maintenance or safety concerns.
• Complete occasional additional errands or pickups as needed.

The current daily flow starts from our Yaletown location on Seymour Street and includes regular transfers between between all three locations, with additional Costco, supplier and storage runs depending on the day.
