(And NO—we are NOT looking for someone to actually build us a kitchen )

So… What Does an Expo or Builder Do? We’re glad you asked!
Kitchen Expo
The Expo is the quarterback of the kitchen line. Positioned on the opposite side of the window from the line cooks, Expos:
Receive and organize food tickets
Communicate ticket needs and timing with line cooks
Track cook times and ticket flow
Pull completed food items and stage them on trays
Pass completed trays to the Builder
Kitchen Builder
Once the tray reaches the Builder, it’s showtime! Builders:
Add guest‑requested sauces and menu‑specific condiments
Ensure everything is complete, accurate, and presentation‑ready
Hand off finished trays to food runners for delivery to guests
Teamwork makes the dream work—and these roles are a huge part of keeping service smooth and guests happy.

Maintain strong knowledge of the menu and food safety standards
Ensure every plate meets LuLu’s quality and presentation standards
Set up, stock, and maintain your station throughout the shift
