Outdoor Event Coordinator (Part Time)
Quick Summary
Who We Are:Our story began in 2011 when a group of office workers at a major logistics company in Chicago had a lunch problem. Nearby options were limited,
We’re looking for someone who is hospitality-minded, hands-on, and ready to work in a high-energy outdoor environment. You’ll be onsite and actively involved in everything from setting up the space and supporting our restaurant partners to engaging with customers and cleaning up at the end of service.
This is a busy, active location in a construction-site-type environment, so we’re looking for someone who is comfortable being outdoors, on their feet, and engaged throughout their shift.
The right person notices the details, jumps in without being asked, stays positive when things get busy, and understands how to create a welcoming customer experience in a unique environment.
