Our core values are to Create Community, Breathe Curiosity, Communicate Compassion, Embrace Quirky, Seize Ownership, and Build Awesome Experiences. Our Mission is to deepen human connections through storytelling and food.

Do you stay on top of current food trends and new restaurant openings for fun? Do you have a passion for people and community? Does your dream job include being paid to eat out and call it “research”?

We are hiring an Operations Manager in San Francisco for which requires a mix of remote and on the ground work. We do not have set hours or an office, but the position will require sometime weekends as that’s when tours are also running. Open to part time or full time candidates.

You will manage a team of quirky culinary guides in SF and work remotely with our teams in Los Angeles and New York City (thank you google video chat!). You are excited to create relationships with restaurant partners (bring our restaurant partners candy on Halloween in a reverse trick or treat adventure, anyone?), help clients discover the best SF Burrito, hire, train and manage other awesome guide hosts, gloat when your team receives five star reviews from our guests, and continuously invite new restaurants to be stops our experiences. 

As the San Francisco City Operations Manager you will also host our culinary experiences and roll up your sleeves and delve into guiding yourself. You’re usually the one to host cocktail parties walking around offering water and making sure guests have had enough to eat.  You have an eye for detail and reading people - are they having a great time? Do they have a napkin? What can you do to make their experience awesome?  

Not only do you drool over avocado toast, but you are organized and detail oriented. For reminders you trust your handy and helpful friend Slackbot, you nerd out when new features are released in Asana, and you love checking off tasks from your to do list. Asking questions and collecting resources is innate to you since you know it will get you closer to a solution. Flexibility, reacting quickly, and thinking on your feet is a skill you feel you can show off to others. You are a problem solver and love puzzles so building a project timeline and hitting deadlines is satisfying to you.  

This is a fast paced, start-up environment that is growing quickly. Thinking on your feet and creatively, while problem solving with a growth mentality is crucial. We are a fast growing business, so there is growth potential for the right candidate.
