About Gourmet Gorilla
Gourmet Gorilla prepares fresh meals every day and delivers them to daycares and schools across Chicagoland. From our kitchen and depot on Goose Island, our production and delivery teams make sure thousands of kids get safe, healthy, great tasting meals, on time, every school day. We are a growing, hands on team that values reliability, respect, and continuous improvement. Gourmet Gorilla is part of Healthy Bites Collective, a national K-12 food service platform uniting four regional leaders in Houston, Dallas, New York, and Chicago.
About the role
You will keep our kitchen safe and our building running. Working with our food safety consultant, you will put our food safety programs into daily practice, keep our records audit ready, and make sure our equipment and facility are maintained and inspection ready. This is a great role for someone early in a food safety career who wants to learn from experienced partners and grow.

Work with our food safety consultant to roll out new programs, SOPs, and training.
Check incoming deliveries for temperature, condition, and labeling, in partnership with production.
Train team members on food safety, receiving, allergen, and labeling standards.
Prepare the team for health department, third party, and customer inspections, and join internal audits.
Track and follow up on quality issues and customer concerns until they are resolved.
Facilities
Coordinate building maintenance, equipment repairs, and preventive maintenance.
Schedule and manage facility vendors, including pest control, waste, refrigeration, and HVAC.
A Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) certification, or willingness to earn one within 60 days (we will support you).
Strong organization, attention to detail, and comfort keeping records in spreadsheets.
Clear, respectful communication with team members and vendors.
Ability to work early morning hours and perform the physical parts of the role (standing for long periods, lifting up to 50 lbs), with or without reasonable accommodation.
Nice to have
HACCP certification.

Don't meet every qualification? We would still love to hear from you. Many great candidates hold back unless they check every box. If you are excited about this role, please apply.
Your first 60 days
Our HACCP records are current and complete, receiving checks run on a clear checklist, building equipment is on a preventive maintenance schedule, and you are working through the consultant's program rollout plan.
What we offer
Generous paid time off and sick leave
A mission you can feel good about: feeding kids fresh, healthy meals every school day
Room to grow with a company that is building its leadership team
