We encourage a healthy work‑life balance—no mandatory overtime, and a “digital‑detox” policy after your shift ends.

How to Succeed in This Remote Role

• Set up a dedicated, well‑lit station with a neutral background to project professionalism.
• Test audio/video before each shift; keep a backup headset handy.
• Memorize the current menu, seasonal specials, and allergen information to answer questions instantly.
