G’day, Hap here owner of Happy Cones.
In 2014 I arrived here in Denver from my native New Zealand and saw there was no New Zealand Style ice cream here. I bought a 1989 school bus off Craigslist and imported the first New Zealand made ice cream blending machine into America, thus bringing Denver the ice cream I grew up on.
On the back of that bus I had the words painted, “everyone leaves happier”. To this day, it's these three words that drives everything we do at Happy Cones, whether it's scooping at one of our two shops or serving on one of our three trucks at Denver's food truck events or catering a party.
WHAT THE ICE CREAM TRUCK DRIVER ROLE INVOLVES
Firstly the boring stuff……
- The ol insurance company requires you to be over 21 and have a clean driving record.
- You'll feel comfortable being trained to drive an oversized vehicle (think mini school bus or small Fedex truck around town. You will be trained!)
- The role is from now to October with evening and weekend availability a must. If you crush then every summer we’d love to have you back.
- Be able to work 20-40 hours a week.
- No need to be an athlete, but gotta be able to lift 60lbs.
- Have at least 2 years experience in the hospo industry.
Now the fun stuff……
- We're a tight knit team, so we're looking for someone with a friendly personality, positive outlook that works best in a team environment, but can also work independently when needed.
- You're a genuine lover of people who gets energized from offering an elevated guest experience.
- You have excellent communication skills and get excited about communicating with event hosts about making their event memorable.
- A bonus if you can do a good New Zealand accent.
- You love to take customer complaints as opportunities to create a Happy Cones follower
- You thrive in a fast paced environment and naturally work with a sense of urgency. If you can sing and dance whilst hustling you're in the right spot!
- Being a part of the local food truck community, and trading ice cream for free meals with your fellow food truck mates.
- You're comfortable working in an inclusive environment of difference races, genders, religions, sexualities and nationalities.
- And again, like to have fun at work!
If this sounds like you, then I'd love to chat. We’re looking for someone to start training now.
Cheers, Hap
