Work with us

The crew is the product.

A festival bar or a service line works because the people running it have done it before. We hire on-call crew across Southern California and bring the same faces back season after season.

How the work runs

01

Mostly on-call

Cart and lead work is event-by-event rather than a fixed weekly schedule. We send out calls ahead of each event and you take the ones that suit you. Operations Manager is a full-time role.

02

Long days, clear ends

Shifts commonly run eight to twelve hours, often outdoors, with an early load-in and a late break-down. It is physical work: most roles ask you to lift 50 lbs.

03

The season builds

Festival season is heaviest spring through fall. People who show up reliably get called first, and leads come off the floor.

Open roles

One application covers all of them. Tell us which you are after and we will call you when something fits.

Cart Operator

On-call, per event

Running a cart end to end: product, service, and point of sale.

One cart, one operator. You take delivery of product, prepare and serve through the day, and handle the register. It suits people who would rather run their own station than work a line.

What you need

  • Food handling
  • Knowledge of food preparation and serving
  • Point of sale experience, including cash handling

Lead Supervisor

On-call, per event

Holding the standard across several carts at once.

You run inventory across the footprint and keep an eye on food production at each location through the day. Leads generally come off the floor, so cart experience is the usual route in.

What you need

  • Inventory control
  • Monitoring food production across locations
  • Able to lift a minimum of 50 lbs

Operations Manager

Full-time

Labor, equipment, and inventory across the whole operation.

You allocate labor to get the most out of a crew, run set up and break down of carts and equipment, and own inventory. This one requires you to drive: trailers and bobtail trucks are part of the job, not an occasional favor.

What you need

  • Managing allocated labor to maximize productivity
  • Overseeing set up and break down of carts and equipment
  • Inventory control
  • Experience driving trailers and bobtail trucks
