    About Us Laced Bakes isn’t just a café — it’s a movement. We blend cannabis, culture, food, and community to create a one-of-a-kind experience. From infused treats to signature PotTails, we’re building a space that’s inclusive, high-energy, and rooted in creativity. As a Black, queer-owned business, we take pride in creating a space that feels good, looks good, and runs right — and that takes a strong, reliable team. Who We’re Looking For We’re hiring team members with hustle, discipline, and pride in their work. This is a hands-on role — not just serving customers, but keeping the entire space clean, organized, and running smoothly. If you’re someone who takes initiative, moves with purpose, and doesn’t wait to be told what to do, you’ll fit right in. Key Responsibilities • Prepare and serve drinks, mockails, and food items, • Provide strong, welcoming customer service (with light education on products), • Operate POS systems (Square + Stripe) for orders and payments, • Run food and drinks efficiently during service and events, • Maintain high cleaning standards (mopping, scrubbing floors, wiping surfaces, trash handling, deep cleaning), • Restock inventory and keep service areas organized, • Support events, private bookings, and activations, • Stay proactive — if something needs to be done, handle it What We’re Looking For • Strong work ethic — you move with urgency and take pride in doing things right, • Comfortable using or learning Square and Stripe POS systems, • Ability to clean thoroughly and consistently (not surface-level), • Team player mentality — no “that’s not my job” attitude, • Reliable, punctual, and able to handle fast-paced environments, • Willingness to learn about cannabinoids, terpenes, and infused products Bonus Points If You • Have worked in cannabis or are comfortable in that environment, • Can lift 40–50 lbs (restocking, cleaning, event setup), • Have NYC Food Handler’s Certification (or are willing to get it) Compensation & Perks • Employee discounts on food and products, • Opportunity to grow within a unique and expanding concept, • Hands-on experience in coffee, events, and hospitality Important This is a hands-on, active role. Cleaning, organizing, and maintaining the space is just as important as serving customers.
