    Up and coming NYC bagel company seeking another member for our kitchen team!

START DATE AVAILABLE for this or next week (even just for a trial day). Pay: $20-$30/hr depending on experience. Payday is every week, and always in a timely manner :) Senior staff are $25 and up. Roles available: Junior, mid-level, and senior. Work description: Bagels, cream cheese, toppings, sauces, packaging, and more. No pastry work, the main dough work is all bagels. Operational responsibility and creative freedom are definitely available. Experience needed: Baking, line cook, or general BOH experience!! If not, then enthusiasm, a good attitude, and a quick learner are musts. Location: Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NY. Right off the A/C. We work in a big commercial kitchen with good equipment and a massive dishwasher. Making sure you're reading this whole application*! Send us a personalized note in the chat if you did. Schedule: 1-2 full-time positions available. 1-2 part-time positions (15+ hrs) available. Early mornings REQUIRED most weekends - but we will reimburse some or all of your Uber/Lyft cost if needed! ~2:30am start Saturday, ~4am start on Sunday. Start date: ASAP!! 2 week trial period. We're a mix of wholesale and direct-to-customer, but we're much more 'let's make 2000 delicious bagels' than 'let's decorate 500 beautifully delicate pastries'. We sell at live events, catering, and in grocery stores. Main amount of work is at farmers markets every weekend, at 5 markets around NYC. We also have pizzabagel events, catering, and sell them frozen in grocery stores. If you're thinking 'ok, this sounds like it could be fun'... please apply! • Jacob, Founder
