About Us

We’re a locally owned popcorn shop that’s been keeping Tucson poppin’ since the 1980s! We may be small, but we’re growing—and we need a reliable, long-term team player to grow with us. We take pride in high-quality products and excellent customer service.

What We’re Looking For

• Someone who wants to be a part of the team long-term, this is not a summer/ seasonal/after class position

• Experience working in food/kitchen settings
• A self-starter who takes initiative and can work efficiently and productively and multi-task
• Dependable, motivated, and ready to learn
• Friendly and customer-focused
• Knowledge of POS Systems, 3rd party sales channels, and website/social media order platforms
• Available to work Saturdays
• Bonus: Willing to work events!

What You’ll Do

• Work at a fast-pace, in a go-go-go environment (this is not a standing behind the counter all day position, we are producing, cooking, and packaging and everything has to be done quickly!)
• Greet and assist customers in-store and over the phone - and be able to help tailor orders to their needs with a friendly attitude
• Fulfill online, phone, email orders, and wholesale orders and keep track of order deadlines to ensure timely fulfillment
• Maintain shop cleanliness in front and back of house, and follow food safety guidelines- even during peak rushes
• Operate an industrial popper, sift, bag, and seal packaging
• Mass label and sticker product and bags
• Pick up, move, and lift up to 75 lbs and stand your entire shift

Perks

• Sundays, evenings, and most holidays off
• Tips, bonuses & employee discount
• Small family team with room to grow
