If not, then enthusiasm, a good attitude, and a quick learner are musts. Location: Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NY. Right off the A/C.

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
