Job description

About the Company


At Yay, lunch is our favorite subject. Yay is out to fundamentally change K-12 school food for the better. We believe that every student should have the opportunity to enjoy a freshly made, wholesome meal they'll love while at school, and that parents should trust that their child feels cared for and nourished.

Founded by parents for parents in 2018, we have expanded and evolved, now serving multiple markets from Chicago to Connecticut and down the East Coast. We have exciting plans and we can't wait to bring our mission to more schools.

We'd love to have you on the team! As a startup, we hustle with heart. We're team players and self-starters. We want you to love what you do, and we give you the tools to succeed with our commitment to flexibility, transparency, respect, empowerment, and positivity. Come join us!

Position Overview


As a Lunch Coordinator, you will play a vital role in ensuring that kids receive the meals they need, delivered with care and a smile. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys interacting with children, takes pride in being reliable, and thrives in a customer-focused, energetic environment.

Responsibilities:

  • Deliver joy - Help distribute fresh, healthy lunches to students and ensure a smooth, positive lunchtime experience.
  • Be the friendly face - Provide excellent customer service and interact warmly with children, school staff, and parents.
  • Stay organized & accountable - Manage daily meal service, support the student checkout process, and keep food displays stocked and tidy.
  • Uphold our values - Show up with a positive attitude, communicate with transparency, and take ownership of your role.

What This Job is NOT:

  • A food delivery job - You won't be driving to pick up or deliver meals. You'll work onsite to ensure the lunchtime process runs smoothly for students and staff.
  • A job with no purpose - You'll play a meaningful role in creating a positive lunchtime experience that fosters connection, nourishment, and joy.
  • A solo, isolated job - While you'll handle your responsibilities independently, you're part of a mission-driven team that values communication, collaboration, and support.

What This Job IS:

  • A mission-driven role where you help make school lunches healthier and more enjoyable.
  • A position that values reliability, friendliness, and accountability.
  • An opportunity to build relationships with school staff and students.
  • A role where you can take pride in making a difference every day!

What We're Looking For:

  • A reliable, punctual, and professional individual who enjoys working with children.
  • A strong communicator who can interact with school staff, parents, and students with ease.
  • A friendly, outgoing, and service-oriented personality that creates a welcoming environment.
  • Availability for 2-3 hours per shift (typically 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM), Monday through Friday. We are looking to hire a "floating" Lunch Coordinator for our Atlanta market of partner schools. The expectation is that this person will work 3-6 hours per week, potentially more if we have call-outs or our scheduling needs change.
  • Ability to lift and carry up to 30 lbs without assistance.

Qualifications

  • Willingness to learn, take direction, and work as part of a team
  • A positive attitude and a genuine interest in supporting healthy food for kids
  • ServSafe Food Handler Certification (or willingness to obtain within first 14 days of employment)
  • Ability to clear a pre-employment background check and earn additional certifications if required by the school
  • A smartphone for job-related communication
  • A valid driver's license and valid auto insurance

What We Offer:

  • A supportive, people-first team environment
  • Competitive hourly pay at $18/hour + mileage reimbursement when applicable
  • The opportunity to grow within a mission-driven organization
  • Predictable hours that support work-life balance
