Maintenance and Inventory Team Member

Maintenance and Inventory Team Member

Our team members are mission-critical to Chick-fil-A operations. While they all play different roles in the organization, their purpose remains the same - to win the hearts of new and returning guests every day through the successful execution of role fundamentals. Our team members are operations and customer experience professionals who specialize in one or more of the following areas: Service & Hospitality (Front of House), Culinary & Prep (Heart of House), or Facilities, Inventory, and Equipment (Full-Restaurant). The Team Member engages most closely with our customers and must be an excellent image bearer of our core values, character competencies, culture, and mission.

While the majority of our team focuses on our guests and food preparation, it is equally as important to have a team dedicated to caring for our building, our equipment, and our inventory. Without consistent execution of systems in these areas, the chaos that can exist in the restaurant business can quickly overwhelm our ability to function properly.

Our F.I.E. team is the bedrock of this business, helping us stay in position and on track to serve guests well for years to come! At CFA Bartow Ave, our Facilities, Inventory, and Equipment Team specializes in restaurant cleanliness, preventive equipment maintenance, inventory organization (using the first-in, first-out method, or FIFO), and controlling the costs of food, chemicals, and paper.
