The team member is responsible for preparing their station(s) before the start of each shift. Must make sure that all the supplies that will be needed are available and ready for use. This includes preparing some items in the commercial kitchen before they are stored in the food truck. Or performing simple tasks such as stocking the truck with carry-out boxes or food boats.

During a shift, the team member is responsible for preparing the items requested from their station. This requires working with other members in the truck to make sure that food is ready at the right time. Also, be sure that it is in the right order so that it arrives at the service window ready to eat and at the correct temperature. A team member will often be directed by the food truck captain as they prepare the food.

At the end of a shift, the team member is responsible for cleaning their station. They may also be asked to help others clean up the entire food truck. This means disposing of garbage, cleaning utensils, pots, and pans, and cleaning cooking surfaces. The team member will also be responsible for taking care of leftover food, whether that means disposing of it, returning unused items to the correct inventory location, or storing cooked goods for use at another service.

The team member is also called on to unload trucks and store inventory correctly. This can mean stocking pantries or walk-in refrigerators, or simply inventorying items and reporting to the food truck captain or the director.
