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
