About the Company

At Yay, lunch is our favorite subject. Yay is out to fundamentally change K-12 school food for the better. We believe that every student should have the opportunity to enjoy a freshly made, wholesome meal they'll love while at school, and that parents should trust that their child feels cared for and nourished.

Founded by parents for parents in 2018, we have expanded and evolved, now serving multiple markets from Chicago to Connecticut and down the East Coast. We have exciting plans and we can't wait to bring our mission to more schools.

We'd love to have you on the team! As a startup, we hustle with heart. We're team players and self-starters. We want you to love what you do, and we give you the tools to succeed with our commitment to flexibility, transparency, respect, empowerment, and positivity. Come join us!

Position Overview

As a Lunch Coordinator, you will play a vital role in ensuring that kids receive the meals they need, delivered with care and a smile. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys interacting with children, takes pride in being reliable, and thrives in a customer-focused, energetic environment.

Responsibilities:

• Deliver joy – Help distribute fresh, healthy lunches to students and ensure a smooth, positive lunchtime experience.

• Be the friendly face – Provide excellent customer service and interact warmly with children, school staff, and parents.

• Stay organized & accountable – Manage daily meal service, support the student checkout process, and keep food displays stocked and tidy.

• Uphold our values – Show up with a positive attitude, communicate with transparency, and take ownership of your role.

What This Job is NOT:

• A food delivery job – You won't be driving to pick up or deliver meals. You'll work onsite to ensure the lunchtime process runs smoothly for students and staff.
• A job with no purpose – You'll play a meaningful role in creating a positive lunchtime experience that fosters connection, nourishment, and joy.
• A solo, isolated job – While you'll handle your responsibilities independently, you're part of a mission-driven team that values communication, collaboration, and support.

What This Job IS:

• A mission-driven role where you help make school lunches healthier and more enjoyable.
• A position that values reliability, friendliness, and accountability.
• An opportunity to build relationships with school staff and students.

• A friendly, outgoing, and service-oriented personality that creates a welcoming environment.
• Availability for 2–3 hours per shift (typically 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM), Monday through Friday. We are looking to hire a "floating" Lunch Coordinator for our Atlanta market of partner schools. The expectation is that this person will work 3-6 hours per week, potentially more if we have call-outs or our scheduling needs change.
• Ability to lift and carry up to 30 lbs without assistance.

• A valid driver's license and valid auto insurance

What We Offer:
