Kona Ice of Winston-Salem is hiring energetic, dependable drivers to operate our shaved ice truck at school events, sports tournaments, festivals, corporate events, neighborhood gatherings, and private parties. If you like being on the move, meeting new people, and think you can bring the full Kona Ice Experience, this role is for you!
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.

  • Drive the Kona Ice truck safely to and from events; follow all safety rules (including no texting while driving).
  • 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.
