Food Service Assistant – Costco – Winnipeg, MB

Located at 1499 Regent Avenue West in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Costco is looking for a Food Service Assistant to join the Food Court team. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role where you’ll be part of the daily rhythm of one of Canada’s busiest warehouse retailers — preparing food, serving members, and keeping the food court running smoothly.

From operating deep fryers and pizza ovens to dispensing frozen yogurt and lattes, this role covers a wide range of food preparation and service tasks. You’ll also handle cash transactions, maintain a clean and safe workspace, and ensure every member walks away satisfied with their order.

About the Role: Food Service Assistant – Food Court

As a Food Service Assistant at Costco Winnipeg, your day-to-day work revolves around preparing and serving food and beverages to members in a fast-paced food court environment. You’ll be responsible for tasks ranging from baking pizzas and steaming hot dogs to stocking supplies from the warehouse floor and sanitizing equipment. No two shifts are exactly the same, which keeps the work engaging.

This role also requires a solid understanding of food safety standards. You’ll be expected to comply with health codes — including sanitation protocols, temperature controls, product rotation, and expiration date monitoring — from your very first day. Being detail-oriented and safety-conscious is essential in this environment.
