Concession Manager Job Description
Pre-Season Tasks:
• Create volunteer schedule. Teams should be scheduled when they have a home
game, but not during the game. Schedule two teams per shift (8:30-11:30 and
11:00-2:00).
• Give a copy of the schedule to the director of volunteers for distribution and give
an electronic copy to the website manager for posting on the soccer web site.
• Clean out back room. Wash dishes and equipment.
• Test grill and make sure LP tanks are full.
• Determine menu and pricing for the season.
• Buy food and non-perishable items. Store frozen items in the freezer in the back
room.
During the Season:
• At the beginning of the week, send an email reminder to team directors and
coaches whose teams will volunteer in the concession stand seeking two parents
per team.
• Make sure all food is purchased by Saturday a.m. and taken to the concession
stand.
• Set up cash box with $100 in cash. (3 $10’s, 6 $5’s, 20 $1’s, $10 in quarters)
• Get to the concession stand around 8:15 to set up. Coffee and cocoa should be set
up first, followed by hot dog maker (if using it).
• Assign a volunteer to handle referee payments. See director of referees about the
procedure.
• Clean dishes and put food away. Keep in mind that there are mice in the back
room. I find it easiest to just bring the dirty dishes home for washing than doing it
at the stand.
• Wash counters and tables with hot soapy water.
• Make a list of needed items for the following week.
• Track expenses and income. I use a spreadsheet for this task.
Post-Season Tasks:
