Food Runner/Event Set-Up at Palm Aire Country Club at Sarasota – Sarasota, Florida

At Palm Aire Country Club, great service doesn’t just happen in the dining room, it happens behind the scenes, in the way rooms are set, details are handled and timing comes together seamlessly. This role sits right at the center of it all. Not quite part-time, not quite full-time, this position offers consistent hours with built-in variety. You’ll move between food running during service and setting up and breaking down event spaces, helping bring everything from casual member dining to large-scale club events to life.

One shift might have you delivering plates during a busy lunch, the next resetting a room for an evening event and sometimes both in the same day. While our pace follows the season and event calendar, this is not a seasonal position. We are looking for someone who brings structure, consistency and reliability to the role, someone the team can count on year-round. We are also not a late-night operation, most shifts wrap at a reasonable hour, making this a great fit for someone who enjoys hospitality without the typical late-night schedule.

Some days move quickly, others give you room to reset, but there is always a standard to uphold. If you take pride in being part of a team that makes things look effortless (even when they’re not), you’ll fit in well here. If you enjoy staying active and being involved in both service and events, we’d love to meet you.
