Job Description

Join Our Team at the Neighborhood Store on Oatka Creek! Looking for a role where your hard work and reliability truly make a difference? We're a Mom and Pop neighborhood store in Mumford, nestled along the scenic Oatka Creek. Specializing in homemade foods, baked goods, and local specialty items, we're passionate about serving our community with quality and care. If you enjoy staying busy, working with good people, and being part of a team that values effort, we'd love to hear from you!
What You'll Be Doing:
As a key member of our small but mighty team, you'll wear many hats and keep things running smoothly. Here's what your day-to-day might look like:
  • Prepping ingredients and foods for our menu offerings.
  • Helping plan and execute menu specials.
  • Maintaining a clean, organized, and safe kitchen environment.
  • Managing stock, storage, and inventory of all foods.
  • Staying productive in a fast-paced setting and helping wherever needed.
What We're Looking For:
We're searching for someone with the following qualities and experience:
  • Reliability :
    You show up on time, every time.
  • Strong Work Ethic :
    You take initiative and don't need constant direction.
  • Comfortable staying busy, being on your feet for several hours, and switching tasks as needed.
  • A team-first mindset : No egos, no drama — just good teamwork.
  • Willingness to learn and contribute to both retail and kitchen operations.
  • Reliable transportation is a must.
  • Knowledge of food safety and hygiene rules.
  • Previous kitchen experience (1 year required).
  • Ability to multi-task effectively in a dynamic environment.
Why This Role Might Not Be for

We value productivity — expect to stay busy throughout your shift. You'll be asked to pitch in wherever needed, whether in the kitchen or on the retail floor. Downtime is rare, and your phone won't be your companion during shifts. What You Can Expect from
Us:
Clear, straightforward expectations — no guessing games. A variety of tasks to keep your day interesting (retail and kitchen exposure). A small, tight-knit team where your effort truly matters. A laid-back yet hardworking environment where we all pull our weight.
