Quick Service Food and Beverage

QSFB is one of the one of the most common roles on the program.  It is also a role that does not depend on experience so if it is a role that interests you, you should stand a good chance of being offered a position in this area.  That being said, there are many pros and cons of QSFB.

I’ll start with the cons: QSFB is one of the busiest and most physically taxing roles.  You will be on your feet the whole time and your work will generally be fast paced.  As a CP/ICP you will most likely be rostered on to late night shifts.  You may also be working in a variety of food preparation areas, which may require you to learn how to use various fryers, ovens and machinery. 

However, on the plus side you will get A LOT of guest interaction in this role.  You could be placed just about anywhere in Walt Disney World, and a lot of your training will be universal so you have the potential to pick up shifts all over the place.  The fast-paced nature of the job also means that you won’t get bored on the job.  In a lot of the areas in QSFB, you will be working on food carts, often by yourself or in pairs, which means you will have a lot of independence.

Here’s what Disney’s official description of this role looks like:

Quick Service Food and Beverage

• Selling food and beverages (including alcohol) at outdoor carts and/or indoo restaurants
• Taking and filling orders, multi-tasking
•  Preparing food items in a kitchen area, including the use of a fryer, grill, broiler and other  industrial cooking equipment
•  Cash handling - both manual and using computerized registers
•   Bussing tables, cleaning kitchen equipment and emptying trash cans
•   Setting and stocking tables, outdoor cars and restaurants
•   Heavy lifting, pushing heavy carts
•   Working with cleaning chemicals

That’s all I can really tell you about this role at the moment.  Once I’m on my program I will try to find out more information and update this page accordingly.
