Sales, booth management, and a lot of happy customers

  • Set up and break down the full booth — tents, banners, product displays, weights
  • Sample enthusiastically and actively pitch KettlePop to every passerby
  • Hit and exceed daily sales goals through energy and engagement
  • Operate the fire kettle and pop fresh batches throughout the shift
  • Handle cash and card transactions accurately using our POS system
  • Monitor and manage inventory throughout the day
  • Keep the booth clean, organized, and visually sharp at all times
  • Return the truck and complete end-of-day paperwork at the hub
