ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

We are very team oriented, and everyone fills in to help each other when needed. We like to play music and have fun, all while still being professional with each other and with the customers.
You will be required to lift and move 25 lb. bags of flour and sugar, and to refill storage containers as needed. We do a lot of spot cleaning throughout the day, and we all pitch in to do dishes and clean work areas. Your work space should be as clean when you leave as it was when you arrived. The employee that works after you should not have to clean the work area before beginning their shift. We all pitch in to fold boxes, add stickers to packaging, and keep the cooler stocked with drinks and weekly treats.
These are physical positions with lots of standing almost the entire shift. Shifts are generally 6 – 8 hours, and can begin as early as 5 am, and could end as late as 7pm. We are open on the 1st and 3rd Sundays, and can be flexible with schedules, but do require that you are available leading up to major holidays (Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day/Graduation, Thanksgiving, Christmas). We are always closed on the actual holiday, except for Valentine’s Day.

We offer discounts on food (discount varies per shift) and free bottled water. You will be responsible for assisting customers not only with in – store purchases, but also placing future orders over the phone and in person. An in – depth knowledge of our menu is crucial – you will be expected to learn it. We will be there to help take orders until you are well – versed. We have an open kitchen with portions in view of customers, so we like to keep everything tidy and neat. Cleanliness is very important. Personal cell phones are not allowed in the kitchen per DHEC regulations. Phones must be kept in the storage cubbies. Phones can be used on breaks. If there is an emergency, give the bakery phone number to your contact so they can easily get in touch with you.
