This Is Not a Typical Food Job

This is live events.

Think:

Packed stadiums

Spring training crowds

Concert nights

Long lines, loud music, high energy

Nights, weekends, and “this was a good hustle” paychecks

If you want a side hustle that actually feels fun , where the hours go fast and the environment is electric, keep reading.

The Role (What You’re Actually Doing)

You’re an Event Operator. That means execution, energy, and reliability.

Load in, set up, operate, and tear down our mobile food truck and event stations at high-profile sports games, concerts, festivals, and fundraisers

Produce and serve popcorn in high-volume, fast-moving environments

Keep lines moving, customers smiling, and the vibe positive

Represent the Cactus Corn brand front-and-center with confidence and personality

Handle POS transactions, cash and card payments, and assist with end-of-event closing

Maintain cleanliness, food safety, and equipment care throughout the event

Travel to event sites across Arizona and work nights, weekends, holidays, and peak seasons

This is hands-on. You’ll be on your feet. You’ll be busy. And the shift will fly by.

Who This Is Perfect For

• You’ve worked live events, food trucks, festivals, concessions, catering, or high-volume service

• You like fast-paced environments and don’t panic when lines get long

• You want a flexible side hustle that works around school, another job, or your main grind

• You’re reliable, show up on time, and don’t disappear mid-season

• You don’t mind late nights, early load-ins, or weekend work (that’s when the best events happen)

• Comfortable working outdoors and on your feet for long shifts

• Can lift, move product, and handle physical event work

• Professional, positive, and good with people
