ABOUT THE JOB:

You will work between around 45-50 hours per week barring someone calling out sick or working a special event, and you will have two days off per week most weeks. The position requires flexibility for nights, weekends and holidays. You will help to manage, direct and positively reinforce a kitchen crew. Joining Pie Pan is like joining a family. We work hard, we laugh, we cry, we fight, we make up, and we have fun together. As a certified B Corp our priorities are People, Planet, then Profit. The people in our company are what makes us great. We want over achievers, over-whelmers and people who thrive on doing a great job to make people happy. Experience working in a scratch kitchen is a plus. Knife skills and cleanliness are paramount. Most importantly, you can grow with us in the job and in the future as we are working on more projects down the road. Join the family today.
