Kitchen Staff

Position Overview

The Market & Deli Kitchen plays a vital role in bringing beautiful, consistent, scratch-made food to life at Mortimer Farms. This is not a professional bakery role and not a single-station café position — it's a hands-on, fast-moving kitchen role that blends food prep, grab-and-go production, baking, plating, decorating, deli, and customer service.

We're looking for someone who:

• Takes pride in their work
• Enjoys following recipes and systems
• Moves with purpose and efficiency
• Can multitask without cutting corners
• Loves making food and baking that looks as good as it tastes

At-home baking or kitchen experience is perfect. What matters most is work ethic, attention to detail, and a strong sense of ownership.

Key Responsibilities

Prepared Foods & Grab-and-Go Production

• Prepare and stock grab-and-go items such as:
• Salads, yogurt parfaits, protein balls, hummus & veggie packs, seasonal side salads and fresh deli items
• Follow recipes exactly to ensure consistency, quality, and food safety
• Keep grab-and-go displays full, organized, labeled, and visually appealing
• Rotate product properly to maintain freshness at all times

Market Kitchen & Deli Support

• Assist with scratch-made bakery and deli items including:
• Cinnamon rolls, turnovers, scones, cookies, bars, and seasonal items
• Assist with sandwich and flatbread assembly, following portioning and presentation standards
• Support ice cream and deli service
• Plate, package, and present food with pride and consistency

Retail Fridge & Grocery Prep

• Maintain the retail fridge with items such as:
• Pico de gallo, chopped vegetables, herbs, coleslaw, roasted vegetables, and seasonal offerings
• Keep all retail displays clean, stocked, and aligned with visual standards
• Monitor inventory levels and communicate low-stock items proactively

Customer Service & Floor Support

• Greet guests warmly and assist with food selections
• Answer basic questions about products and ingredients
• Support the sales floor by keeping displays full, clean, and inviting
• Move between kitchen tasks and guest needs seamlessly

Food Safety, Cleanliness & Organization

• Follow all food safety, labeling, and storage protocols
• Maintain a clean, organized prep space at all times
• Clean and sanitize work areas, equipment, and displays regularly
• Leave the kitchen better than you found it at the end of every shift

Coffee & Beverage Station

• Prepare and serve coffee and seasonal beverages as needed
• Keep the coffee station stocked, clean, and organized
• Track beverage inventory and communicate needs to leadership

General Team Support

• Jump in where needed to support Market & Deli operations
• Assist with seasonal promotions, events, and high-volume days
• Work collaboratively and efficiently with the team to keep operations flowing

What We're Looking For

• Pride in your work and attention to detail
• Ability to follow recipes and systems without improvising
• Fast, efficient, and proactive work style
• Comfortable juggling multiple tasks during a shift
• Positive attitude and strong sense of responsibility
• Team-first mindset — willing to jump in and help wherever needed

Professional baking experience is NOT required.
Strong home-kitchen experience, food prep experience, or similar roles are a great fit.

Why This Role Matters

This position is essential to delivering the picture-perfect, farm-fresh experience our guests expect. Every item prepared, every display stocked, and every interaction contributes to the story we're telling — one of care, quality, and pride in our food.

If you love being productive, working with purpose, and seeing the tangible results of your work every shift, this role will feel incredibly rewarding.
