Food & Beverage Gopher

Food & Beverage Gopher

Pine Canyon Club, located in Flagstaff, AZ, is pleased to announce an excellent career opportunity for a Food & Beverage Gopher! We are seeking a driven individual who is eager to learn, contribute, and grow within a fast-paced hospitality-focused property organization. As part of Troon, you'll contribute to a global leader in golf and community management.

Role Overview The Gopher is a utility support position critical to the daily rhythm of Pine Canyon Club's F&B operation. This role connects the commissary, all five revenue departments, and the back-of-house infrastructure. You are the person who keeps things moving — quietly, reliably, and safely.

Daily Responsibilities Snack & Beverage Restocking (3/6 Area)

• Restock all candies and snacks at least 4 times per day.
• Wash and rotate all jars — clean presentation at all times.
• Wash and rotate all serving utensils and scoops after each restock.
• Replenish eggs, pickles, and cheese in the outside kitchen.

Department Runs — Morrish Station & Camp

• Monitor the radio for requests from Morrish and Camp and respond promptly.
• Deliver food and beverage products as requested.
• Return unused items: empty boxes, hotel pans, trash, and any surplus product.
• Confirm receipt with department staff on every delivery.

Back Dock & Deliveries

• Maintain a clean, organized back dock throughout the entire shift.
• Notify each department when their delivery boxes arrive on the dock.
• Distribute and put away all F&B deliveries: walk-in, freezer, and dry storage.
• Place all wine and liquor deliveries in their designated storage locations.
• Stack and organize soda, mixers, and beverages on designated shelving.
• Move the recycling bins to the collection point on scheduled pickup days.

Banquet Areas

• Keep banquet tables in the shed stacked, organized, and accessible.
• Store all banquet equipment in its designated area.
• Keep the downstairs banquet room clean and organized at all times.
• Ensure pop-up tents are properly stored, and sandbags are in their bin.

The Nest

• Run product to the Nest as requested by department staff.
• Keep the back service side of the Nest clean and organized.

Safety Standards Heavy Lifting & Material Handling

• Always assess the load before lifting — if in doubt, ask for help. There is no shame in it and plenty of reason to ask.
• Use proper lifting technique: feet shoulder-width apart, bend at the knees, keep your back straight, and lift with your legs — not your back.
• Keep the load close to your body. Never twist your torso while carrying weight; pivot your feet instead.
• For loads over 50 lbs., always use a second person or a mechanical aid (e.g., a pallet jack or hand truck).
• Use the pallet jack for water bottle pallets and bulk deliveries. Load evenly. Never stack product so high that it blocks your line of sight.
• Wear slip-resistant shoes. Wet floors near walk-ins and dock areas are a primary hazard
• Report any injury — no matter how minor — to your F&B manager before the end of your shift.

Golf Cart Operation

• A golf cart is a vehicle. Treat it that way.
• Perform a pre-operation check before each use: tire condition, brake function, charge level (electric) or fuel level (gas), and cargo area security.
• Observe a 14-mph maximum on all cart paths and a 5-mph maximum in congested areas, near structures, and around the Nest and back dock.
• Yield to pedestrians at all times — no exceptions.
• No passengers in the cargo bed. Driver and passenger seating only.
• Do not use a phone while operating a cart. If you need to take a call or send a message, pull over and stop fully first.
• Secure all cargo before moving. Unsecured glass, pans, or boxes are a hazard to you, other staff, and members. Use ratchet straps for loads higher than the sides.
• Keep electric carts plugged into the charger after every use. Never let a cart run to zero charge.
• Keep gas carts topped off — do not allow them to run below a quarter tank.
• Report any cart damage, unusual noise, or brake issues to your manager immediately. Do not continue using a compromised cart.

Golfer & Course Awareness

• The golf course is a live playing environment. Your presence there is a guest experience touchpoint, not just a logistics task.
• Never drive…
