| ] | |||
| Crew Member – Crew members work harder than one may expect for a pizza shop employee. On any given day, a Tops Pizza associate may field customer calls, ring up orders, clean the establishment, and of course, spend considerable time creating and preparing pizzas, side dishes, and desserts. Part-time crew members usually work four to six-hour shifts depending on the day of the week. Due to the increased amount of orders during weekends and holidays, most Tops Pizza locations look to hire team members willing to work such days. New crew members with Tops Pizza typically earn minimum wage, though excellent service and work ethic may increase wages. | |||

| Driver – Delivery drivers must feel comfortable working in a mobile and sometimes hectic environment. As the job title implies, drivers deliver orders to the right customers in a timely and expedient manner. For even the slightest hiring consideration, Tops Pizza applicants must possess reliable transportation to perform deliveries. Delivery drivers also perform numerous money transactions and must perform basic mental math for giving back change and such. On occasion, delivery drivers with Tops Pizza perform the same duties as crew members, such as taking orders online and over the phone, ringing up purchases, and making pizzas and other menu items. | |||
| Manager – Similar to other restaurant chains, Tops Pizza managers monitor crew members, sales goals, and restaurant operation. Managers ensure customer satisfaction and improve employee relations. Payroll, scheduling, budgeting, human resources, and marketing make up just a few of the administrative duties required of managers. Since many Tops Pizza locations operate as franchise stores, owners often act as managers simultaneously. Nearly every Tops Pizza features a handful of assistant managers who fulfill many of the same responsibilities. | |||
