Back of House Team Member
Chick-fil-A at Iowa State Memorial Union | Ames, IA
Opening Fall 2026
Be part of the founding team.
We're opening a new Chick-fil-A location in the Memorial Union this fall, and we're looking for applicants who want to be part of something from the beginning — not just another campus job, but a place where you'll be known, where you'll make real friendships, and where you'll be remembered as one of the people who built this.
If you're looking for a home away from home, a team that gets what it's like to balance school and work, and a role where you actually matter — keep reading.
What you'll do:
As a Back of House Team Member, you're the engine that keeps everything running. You'll prep ingredients, cook food to Chick-fil-A's recipe, maintain food safety and cleanliness, and keep the line stocked so your Front of House peers can serve guests quickly and confidently.
This isn't a standalone restaurant — it's a food court in the heart of campus. The pace is fast, the menu is focused, and the work requires attention to detail, teamwork, and pride in doing things right — even when no one but your team sees it.
What we're looking for:
- A can-do attitude and strong work ethic (we can teach you everything else)
- Availability Monday–Friday, with shifts between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM (we're open 10:30 AM–8:00 PM, but prep and closing extend those hours); Saturday availability as needed
- Someone who lives on campus or is very familiar with the Memorial Union
- A team player who takes pride in quality work, even behind the scenes
What we offer:
- Starting pay of $15/hour, with experience pay available
- A free entrée every time you work, plus 50% off everything else
- Flexible scheduling that works around your classes and exams
- Tuition assistance and scholarship opportunities
- A team that will become your friends, not just your coworkers
