Food counter and food service jobs in Canada

About these jobs

Food counter attendants take orders, serve customers, prepare simple food and keep the counter clean, in fast food restaurants, coffee shops, cafeterias and food courts. Employers train new staff, so experience is rarely needed.

These jobs often offer flexible part-time or full-time hours, including early morning, evening and weekend shifts. Turnover is high, so new positions open every week.
