BISTRO TEAM MEMBER

Do you love working with food but not the restaurant environment or late hours? Do you like variety and the opportunity to step out of the kitchen to work with amazing grocery products? Then this might just be the role for you!

In our dynamic Penticton Bistro, we are passionately creating delicious food made with carefully chosen organic, local sustainable ingredients: fresh produce, ethically raised and grass-fed meat and dairy, and products without additives or preservatives. Our customers love our fresh juices and smoothies, gourmet sandwiches and wraps, salads, hearty soups, entrées and an array of baked goods. And, of course, we offer tasty options for a variety of food preferences including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and paleo diets.

PERKS:

• Competitive wages starting at $18.50-19.50/hour, experience dependent
• Up to 25% store discount
• Education allowance
• Free swag (products, food, clothing + more)
• Share in some laughs, air high-fives, and fun each day

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:

• Give a warm "hello!" to our customers – we like building connections with our new and regular customers and sharing a laugh along the way.
• Assist customers with their order which might include answering questions on our menu items and giving suggestions based on their dietary needs (don't worry, we will train you on this!)
• Prepare, make and serve our menu items, including specialty smoothies and juices.
• Use your eye for detail to make food displays that are attractive and inviting.
• Using the 'clean as you go' method you keep kitchen area clean, tidy and organized. Teamwork makes the dream work!
• In other words, you will help others, share your knowledge on our amazing products, be safe, be a great team player and have fun!

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

• You are service minded with experience working in a vibrant customer service environment.
• Passionate about food and sharing your favourite "go-to" items
• You are flexible and seamlessly help make the workflow happen.
• You are confident and friendly in approaching and talking to people.
• Open to learning new things.
• Like to have fun!
• Food Safe I Certified is a plus, but not needed in order to apply.

Put your passion into work that matters with a growing, BC-based company committed to be a better company for our customers, our employees, and the planet. We'll surround you with a great team and a supportive learning environment where you can grow and thrive.
