Food Runner

About the role

Don Signature Crab is a neighbourhood seafood bistro known for convivial sharing plates and chilli-crab inspired specials. We serve a mix of heartland regulars and weekend diners from the East Coast and Katong area, with steady lunch crowds and busy dinner services.

The Food Runner will be the bridge between our kitchen and front-of-house team: plate checks, timely delivery of hot dishes, assistance during peak periods and helping maintain service flow. This role suits someone who moves quickly under pressure, understands basic food safety and enjoys working as part of a hands-on hospitality team.

This is a great entry-level position for candidates looking to build a career in F&B — regular shifts, on-the-floor experience, and opportunities to progress to server or expo roles as you gain service and product knowledge.
