UCFS feeds thousands of students every day across dozens of fraternity and sorority chapter houses at major universities — a supply chain unlike any other in foodservice. Our chefs are our internal customers, and when a delivery is late, short, or wrong, the house feels it immediately.
The Supply Chain Coordinator is the person who makes it right. You'll be the first call when a shipment is missing, the one chasing the vendor, rerouting the order, and getting the kitchen back on track. You'll keep order guides current, support new house openings, and make sure the day-to-day of supply chain runs without the field having to think about it.
This role reports to the Supply Chain Manager and is a direct path into broader supply chain ownership at UCFS.
What Success Looks Like
- Delayed or missing shipments are resolved before they hit the plate
- Chefs know who to call, and they get a fast answer when they do
- Order guides are accurate, current, and trusted
- Recurring issues get surfaced and fixed — not absorbed
