• 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!)

• Fulfill online, phone, email orders, and wholesale orders and keep track of order deadlines to ensure timely fulfillment
