You’ll be on-site at a Circle K to help prepare food for customers. The Food Prep program at Circle K ensures that breakfast, lunch, and snack items are ready for customers on time every day. This allows store managers and staff to focus on other tasks, like administrative work and customer service, while you help ensure food is available for purchase.
