Job Description

The Schedule:

This is a core part of our weekly rhythm. Consistency is non-negotiable.

  • Mandatory Days: Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

  • Hours: Early mornings (think sunrise!) through mid-afternoon.

  • Commitment: Must be available to work weekends and holidays.

What You’ll Do
  • Lead the Setup: Transport equipment and product to market sites. Set up tents, tables, and displays to ensure our brand looks its best.

  • Front-of-House Excellence: Provide top-tier customer service. You’ll be the face of the business, handling high-volume sales with a smile.

  • Independent Problem Solving: From navigating a broken tent pole to managing inventory counts on the fly, you are the "boots on the ground" decision-maker.

  • Weather Warrior: We operate in Rain, Snow, or Sunshine. You must be comfortable working outdoors in all seasonal conditions.

Requirements
  • FOH Experience: Proven experience in Front-of-House roles.

  • Bakery/Barista Background: Familiarity with fast-paced food service or specialty coffee environments is a must. You should understand food safety and high-speed multitasking.

  • Reliable Transportation: You must have a reliable vehicle capable of getting you to various market locations on time.

  • Self-Starter Mentality: You don't wait for a list of instructions; you see what needs to be done and you do it.

  • Physical Stamina: Ability to lift, carry, and maneuver market equipment (tents, crates, etc.) and stand for long periods.

Bonus Points For:
  • Previous experience working at farmer’s markets or outdoor festivals.

  • Experience with professional pop-up tents and outdoor event logistics.

  • A passion for local food and community building.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Hourly Base Pay + Tips: Competitive hourly rate with a significant boost from market-day tips.

  • Autonomy: A chance to run your own "shop" every weekend.

  • The Perks: Fresh air, great community vibes, and (of course) the best bread/pastries in town.

To Apply: Please email your resume to jointheteam@downstatedonuts.com
