Job description

Come make Vancouver’s favourite donuts with us.

Lee’s Donuts started in 1979 as a little mom-and-pop donut shop in the heart of Granville Island Public Market.

More than 45 years later, we’re still doing what we’ve always done: making fresh, classic donuts and creating the kind of experience that makes people happy they stopped by.

We’ve grown a lot since those early days, but we never want to lose what makes Lee’s, Lee’s.

We care about great donuts, good people, warm hospitality and having some fun along the way. We believe work should feel welcoming, people should be able to be themselves, and there’s something pretty great about making food that can turn someone’s entire day around.

It’s a donut. But also… it’s kind of more than a donut.

And yes, you will probably go home smelling like them.

There are worse things.

So, what does a Donut Packer actually do?

You make sure the good stuff gets where it needs to go.

You’ll be part of the team packing, sorting, counting and preparing our donuts for stores, events and customers. You’ll make sure every box looks great, every order is accurate, and every donut is ready to make someone’s day a little sweeter.

You’ll also lend a hand with basic baking tasks when needed, helping the bakers prepare ingredients, organize supplies, keep the workspace clean and support the team in getting fresh donuts ready to go.

You’ll learn our packing routines, keep your station clean and organized, and work alongside a team that knows how to keep things moving when orders start piling up.

Some days are fast. Some orders are big. And sometimes, you’ll wonder how one donut managed to escape the box.

There will be boxes. And probably a few sprinkles.

But there’s something pretty satisfying about seeing a whole stack of perfectly packed orders ready to go and knowing you helped make it happen, from the baking process to the final box.

Yep. That’s one sweet job well done.

You might be our kind of person if...

• You care about doing things well, even when nobody’s watching.
• You show up when you say you will. (Your teammates will love you for this.)
• You’re not afraid to get your hands dirty. Floury. Glazed. Possibly all three.
• You can move quickly without letting quality go out the window.
• You take feedback well, ask questions and actually want to learn.
• You’re happy jumping in when someone needs a hand.

And most importantly, you’re a good human who wants to work with other good humans.

Baking or kitchen experience is definitely a bonus, but donut experience isn’t required.

We can teach you the donuts.

A great attitude? That part you have to bring yourself.

The important stuff

Pay: $19.00/hour + tips

Position: Part-time

Schedule: Minimum of one shift per week, with opportunities to pick up additional shifts depending on availability and business needs.

This is an active kitchen job. You’ll be on your feet, moving around, working with commercial kitchen equipment and occasionally lifting up to 50 lbs.

You’ll also need to follow our food safety and cleanliness standards because while we fully support having fun at work, we draw the line at questionable kitchen hygiene.

Why Lee’s?

Because we think where you work, and who you work with, matters.

You’ll learn a craft.

You’ll work with people who care about what they make.

You’ll become part of a Vancouver brand that has been around since 1979 and somehow still gets genuinely excited about a perfectly glazed donut.

And you’ll help make something that brings a little bit of happiness into someone’s day.

That’s a pretty good way to spend a shift.

We take our donuts seriously.

Ourselves? Considerably less so.

If you’re looking for a place where you can work hard, learn something, be yourself and have some fun while making really great donuts, we should probably talk.

Come make some donuts with us.

Side effects may include an unusually strong opinion about the correct amount of glaze.
