Starting pay: $14.50/hour + tips!
This is a fast-paced, fun, outdoor job in a growing local business-no two shifts are the same. You'll drive to events, set up, serve guests with a positive attitude, and close out the event with accurate cash handling and sales reporting.

  • Arrive prepared: load/stock product, set up equipment, and keep the truck clean and guest-ready.
  • Deliver outstanding guest service-greet, take orders quickly and accurately, and serve shaved ice with enthusiasm.
  • Operate Square point-of-sale and handle cash/change accurately.
  • Follow sanitation, food safety, and cleaning procedures for the truck and warehouse.
  • Complete event closeout: tidy/secure the unit, restock as needed, and submit accurate sales reporting.

REQUIREMENTS
  • Must be at least 18 years old.
  • Must have a valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
  • Must be drug & alcohol free; a criminal background check will be required.
  • Must have reliable transportation to/from our warehouse.
  • Must be dependable and punctual; able to work evenings, weekends, and some holidays.
  • Must be comfortable driving a large vehicle and working outdoors in the heat/cold for a full shift.
  • Must be able to lift up to 25 lbs.
  • Must be accurate with simple math, cash handling, and following procedures.
  • Must be friendly and confident communicating with kids, parents, and customers of all ages.

Kona Ice exists to do more than serve shaved ice-we're here to create memorable moments. From the iconic steel drum music to our signature Flavorwave, we aim to make every guest interaction sincere, fun, and unforgettable. We're proud to be a brand that's built on giving back and strengthening communities.
Kona Ice of Winston-Salem is locally owned and operated, and since 2014, we've been dedicated to serving our neighbors across Winston-Salem, Walkertown, Rural Hall, Lewisville, Clemmons, and Advance. We're mobile, so your "office" changes every day-you'll be out in the community meeting new people and creating smiles at events of all kinds.
We value team members who are fun, trustworthy, dependable, and sincere-people who take pride in doing things the right way and representing our business and brand with enthusiasm, professionalism, and heart.
