Job Description

About Cactus Corn

We’re a Phoenix original (est. 1998) serving up handcrafted Southwest-inspired popcorn at big-time events and venues around the Valley—think fast-paced nights, great crowds, and a team that cares about doing things right.

Role: Food & Box Truck Operations (Part-Time)

Perfect side hustle if you like hands-on work, wheels on the road, and everything running on time. You’re the backbone of our event days: load it, drive it, set it up, clean it, reset it. Mostly nights and weekends. Starts immediately.

What You’ll Do

Warehouse & Loading

• Pick product and supplies, stage loads from pick sheets, and secure cargo for transport

• Operate pallet jack and basic warehouse gear; maintain tidy staging areas

• Log inventory in/out; flag low stock or damaged items

Driving & Delivery (Box Truck)

• Safely drive a non-CDL box truck (16–20 ft) to/from venues around the Valley

• Navigate docks, tight venues, and traffic; back into spots without drama

• Conduct pre/post-trip inspections; complete checklists; note maintenance needs

Event Setup & Support

• Position and prep the food truck (power/generator, temp checks, equipment readiness)

• Restock during service; jump on simple food-truck tasks as needed (no chef whites required)

• Communicate with the Event Lead on timing, shortages, and venue rules

Cleaning, Tear-Down & Reset

• End-of-shift deep clean: sanitize surfaces, mop, wipe-downs, trash, grey-water handling (where applicable)

• Clean and reset box truck and food truck so tomorrow’s crew launches fast

• Closeout checklists and quick photo documentation (before/after)

Light Maintenance & Infrastructure

• Tighten hardware, replace bulbs/fuses, small fixes, organize cables/hoses

• Report issues early; coordinate repairs with Operations

• Keep safety gear (extinguishers, first-aid, triangles) up to standard

Must-Haves

• Box truck driving experience (non-CDL) and a clean driving record (insurable)

• Reliability, professionalism, and attention to detail (checklists are your love language)

• Comfortable lifting 50–75 lbs; on your feet; working in heat

• Nights & weekends availability; occasional late finishes

• Phone/GPS/app savvy (routes, time clock, checklists)

Nice-to-Haves

• Food truck / quick-service experience

• Trailer backing experience (bonus)

• Pallet jack/forklift familiarity

• Basic mechanical skills / DIY mindset

• AZ Food Handler Card (or willing to get within 30 days—we’ll help)

Schedule & Location

• Part-time, event-based: typically 10–25 hrs/week; heavier during peak homestands and big weekends

• Based from our Phoenix warehouse; routes across the Valley

Pay & Perks

• Hourly + tips, with revenue-share eligibility after an initial performance window

• Event snacks (and yes, free popcorn)

• Real growth path to Event Lead and Operations Tech roles

• A team that values ownership, honesty, and clean ops

How We Measure Success

• On-time departures/arrivals

• Zero preventable incidents

• Cleanliness & food-safety scores

• Checklist completion accuracy

• Positive feedback from Event Leads/venues
