Food Runner

Riverhouse BBQ • Seasonal | Summer • Big Sky, Montana, United States • 3w ago

THE ROLE

The Food Runner is the engine room of a great dinner service — and at The Riverhouse we know it. We're looking for a fast-moving, team-first Food Runner who takes genuine pride in getting hot food to the right table at the right time and loves being part of a high-energy, high-performing floor team.

This is one of the best entry-level positions in Big Sky hospitality — you'll learn the rhythm of a busy restaurant operation, build relationships with the whole team, and develop skills that translate into every corner of the hospitality industry.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Deliver food orders from the kitchen to the correct tables accurately and efficiently

- Communicate clearly with kitchen and server teams to ensure smooth, timely service

- Verify order accuracy before delivering to guests — every plate, every time

- Maintain awareness of table status and service flow throughout the dining room

- Assist servers with table maintenance, refills, and guest needs as needed

- Keep service areas clean, stocked, and organized throughout service

- Support the team during high-volume rushes with a positive, can-do attitude

- Learn the menu thoroughly to answer basic guest questions with confidence

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- Previous restaurant experience preferred but not required — we'll train the right person

- Physical stamina — this role keeps you moving for the duration of every shift

- Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy under pressure

- Strong team mentality — you understand that the win belongs to everyone

- Clear, confident communication skills in a fast-paced environment

- Availability for evening, weekend, and holiday shifts during peak season

- A positive attitude that holds up when the tickets are stacking and the dining room is full

THE RIVERHOUSE DIFFERENCE

There are food runner jobs and there are food runner jobs at the #1 restaurant in Big Sky, Montana — steps from the Gallatin River with the Spanish Peaks out the window and some of the best BBQ in the American West coming out of the kitchen behind you.

This is the second kind. And it's a great place to start.
