Summer Concession Workers

SBAA Concessions Workers Needed
Is your child looking for a small summer job?  Then please read this entire email if they want to work concessions for SBAA.  We prefer they are 15 years of age or older, but will take 14 year olds if they think they can handle it.  Teen workers need to be 14 years old.  We do not accept workers under the age of 14 due to child labor laws. We do not do interviews for these positions.  If your child is interested they can automatically be on the list, but then the ones that show us they are good workers will get first chance at the shifts and others might not be working as much.  There is also no formal training, but our concessions coordinator will meet with the new workers as they are scheduled to give some overview of the job. They should have good people skills, good math skills, be able to work well when it gets busy and be willing to grill.  Parents have first chance at our concession shifts in order to get their volunteer fee back but then we have teens to fill in when parents are not able to.  So how it works is an email is sent when there are available shifts and if they are able to work they just email me back and then I confirm the schedule with them.  Shifts may be available on weekdays and weekends, but no amount of hours is guaranteed - the teens just get the hours the parents don't take.  The starting salary for this position is $15 per hour.  Our season starts May 1st and goes through the first weekend of August and then we have concession shifts for fall ball also.  It is a great job for someone starting out that wants flexibility to just take hours that work for them.  This is not a job they should think they will get a ton of hours from.  We have concession stands at Ham Lake Lion's and City Parks and at East Bethel Booster Park so those are the locations they would be working at.  This can be a position for our ball players or their siblings.
 
The concession stands will be CELL PHONE FREE ZONES for all teen workers.

Things teens should know when working the stands:

 

  1. We use IPads supported by square.  You will need to be able to operate an IPAD and make correct change

  2. Try to be aware of when games are almost over so you have a lot of hot dogs/hamburgers ready at that time.

  3. When you have slow times make sure you are restocking and having a system so you know what is warm and what is cold. Also try to keep things clean when it is slow, sweeping and wiping counters during the evening is a must.

  4. Please DO NOT have your friends come to visit you while you are working and do not be on your cell phone. The concession stands will be CELL PHONE FREE ZONES for all teen workers. You can have your phone near you in case the concession coordinator needs to call you but you can only check it for personal messages if you have an emergency situation.

  5. For every four hour shift you do you may have a “meal” for free – that is a hot dog or hamburger, chips and pop or water to drink.The candy and powerade is not free for you though – please stick to this! Absolutely no free food should be given to people you know.  Umpires are able to have a free meal and any drinks and volunteers that are there doing fields also get one free meal.

  6. Jade Bryant is our concessions coordinator and will be around helping you guys. Let her know when you are running out of something, before it is actually gone.  She will bring you extra change too. Phone numbers will be in the concession stand.

  7. Ask customers if you can help them nicely, say thank you when giving them their stuff, be POLITE.

  8. We may ask you to leave before your designated shift time is up or cancel your shift before you come.If it is not busy we can’t afford to pay people for just standing around and we never know if it is going to be busy or not for sure.It is all based on the weather and how many people end up coming to the tournament.  Jen or Jim will determine if anyone is able to leave early.

  9. Understand that sometimes there will be people waiting in line. Just keep working hard and helping each person as quickly as you can but sometimes it will just be busy and there is not much you can do about it but hope they can be patient.
