Sweet Moments Co. hosts chef-led virtual cooking experiences for corporate teams across all 50 states. Each guest receives a premium fresh ingredient kit — pre-portioned down to the salt, built in our Phoenix kitchen — and cooks alongside a chef live on camera. We are a small, fast-moving team that takes pride in accuracy, food quality, and hosting well. Everything is made in-house, from scratch, and shipped fresh. The Role We are hiring a Kitchen Production Lead to own daily kit production: portioning, labeling, and staging ingredient kits to specification; receiving and checking deliveries; maintaining a clean, food-safe production area; and keeping inventory accurate.
