🍽️ KITCHEN EXPO & BUILDERS WANTED! 🍽️

(And NO—we are NOT looking for someone to actually build us a kitchen 😉)

Lucy Buffett’s LuLu’s is a fast‑paced, casual, waterfront family restaurant and bar where Food, Fun, and Music are part of our everyday culture. If you love organized chaos, great teamwork, and making plates look perfect before they hit the dining room—this role might be for you!

👀 So… What Does an Expo or Builder Do?  We’re glad you asked!

Kitchen Expo

The Expo is the quarterback of the kitchen line. Positioned on the opposite side of the window from the line cooks, Expos:

  • Receive and organize food tickets
  • Communicate ticket needs and timing with line cooks
  • Track cook times and ticket flow
  • Pull completed food items and stage them on trays
  • Pass completed trays to the Builder
Kitchen Builder

Once the tray reaches the Builder, it’s showtime! Builders:

  • Add guest‑requested sauces and menu‑specific condiments
  • Prepare sandwich setups, sides (coleslaw, fruit, etc.)
  • Ensure everything is complete, accurate, and presentation‑ready
  • Hand off finished trays to food runners for delivery to guests
Teamwork makes the dream work—and these roles are a huge part of keeping service smooth and guests happy.

✅ Key Responsibilities:

  • Maintain strong knowledge of the menu and food safety standards
  • Ensure every plate meets LuLu’s quality and presentation standards
  • Set up, stock, and maintain your station throughout the shift
  • Double‑check every order for accuracy before it leaves the kitchen
  • Keep a clean and organized workstation at all times
  • Assist with overall kitchen cleanliness and station breakdown
  • Complete all opening, running, and closing duties as assigned
This is not an all‑inclusive list of responsibilities.

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

Form CC-305
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 4/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

How do you know if you have a disability?

  • Blind or low vision

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
