Service Deli Clerk – Costco – Scarborough, ON

Costco’s warehouse location on 1411 Warden Avenue in Scarborough, Ontario is looking to bring on a Service Deli Clerk to join their busy deli team. This hands-on role puts you right at the heart of food preparation, packaging, and member service — a great fit for anyone who takes pride in quality food handling and a clean, organized workspace.

Day to day, you’ll be preparing everything from rotisserie chickens and ribs to party trays, take-and-bake pizzas, salads, and entrees. You’ll work with commercial ovens, automated wrapping machines, and follow Costco’s production standards to ensure consistency and freshness across the display case.

About the Role: Service Deli Clerk

As a Service Deli Clerk, your primary focus is preparing, packaging, and labelling a wide variety of deli products that Costco members rely on for quick, quality meals. You’ll slice vegetables, assemble trays and meals, coat and cook proteins, and operate commercial kitchen equipment — all while maintaining Costco’s high standards for food quality and presentation.

This role also requires strict adherence to food safety regulations, including proper sanitation practices, temperature monitoring, and pull date compliance. You’ll document production records, complete sanitation checklists, and keep the deli area thoroughly clean — from sweeping and mopping to sanitizing equipment parts in a three-compartment sink. Being reliable and detail-oriented is key to succeeding here.
