Employment

HELP WANTED (Saturdays required)

Part-Time Position:  As we ramp up for the holiday season, we need some extra help.  The person we hire must be available during peak seasons (Christmas, Valentine’s, Easter, and Mother’s Day).  This includes the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. More hours may be required during special holidays. This position will be approximately 12-20 hours per week, with more available during peak seasons.

Priority will be given to those with customer service experience, but enthusiastic candidates are welcome to apply.  This position is a customer facing position and candidates need to demonstrate the ability to communicate effectively with customers by phone and in person. Duties include customer service, answering phones, preparing orders, receiving shipments, and cleaning.

We always accept applications, even when we do not have an opening, and will keep them on file for possible future openings. 

If you are interested, please stop by during open hours for an application.

OUR GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL POSITIONS:

Minimum hiring age is 16 years old.

Those with experience in food handling safety and sanitation are preferred, but we will train enthusiastic candidates!  We are an equal opportunity employer.  Our criteria are professionalism, work ethic, and the ability to adhere to safety & sanitation protocols as outlined by the CDC and local health department.   We also require hard work.  This is a busy environment.  There is always something to do and it can get very hectic.  You must be able to work on your feet for all/most of your shift and you must be able to work independently once trained.  Attendance during peak times is mandatory (Christmas, Valentine's, Easter and Mother's Day).  Only complete applications will be considered.  Thank you.
