We are on the prowl for great people. Great Harvest
Bread Co. is a crew of fun-loving bakers, sandwich makers, baristas and more
importantly "people-people". We work hard and we love what we
do. We're looking for high energy, friendly and enthusiastic people to
join our growing family who thrive in a fast paced environment, have a passion
for healthy, fresh foods, breads, sandwiches, coffee and can provide
superior customer service. If you have a good sense of humor, an outgoing personality
and don't mind staying in shape hustling in a bakery selling great bread,
sandwiches and coffee, then you might be just the type of person we're looking
for. We're a 37+ year bakery with fabulous customers who are now bringing
their children and grandchildren in to taste our bread and cookies. A lot
of teamwork and effort goes into each day. We are excited about what we
do and the breads we sell. Everyone in the bakery is expected to be
attentive to customers and customer service is always the #1 priority. We
care a lot about what goes into our products and making sure that we maintain a
high standard in everything we produce.
Our customer can buy breads, goodies, sandwiches and
coffee just about anywhere. What entices them into Great Harvest Bread Co
(besides phenomenal products)? You! The folks behind our front counter
set our store apart from all others. Can you put a smile on your face
even when you don't feel like it? Can you keep your cool under pressure,
accept criticism graciously, and create a WOW experience for every customer
that walks into our store? Are you naturally friendly and helpful?
And are you willing to jump in and help where needed? Product knowledge
and the ability to educate, and to sell to, our customers are important.
There are a few things that are expected of each and every employee: Greeting
Customers Moving Fast Positive Attitude Integrity Paying Attention to Details
and Following Instructions
Approach all aspects of your job with the following
priorities in mind:
Self-directed but able to work collectively as a team
player. Customers always comes first...they must be acknowledged and
served with a sense of urgency! All customers are greeted with a smile
and in a friendly manner. Serve customers in a patient, cheerfull way
that reflects how we value our customers, our products, and our business.
Make every effort to offer our customers service above and beyond the call of
duty--before we open, after we close, help to car, deliver if possible, etc.--to
establish our store as excellent in customer
service. Customer/sales/dinning are must be kept neat and clean.
Clean the bakery cafe using checklists to our high standards. Chores must
be done routinely and consistently--prep, bagging, cleaning, etc.
Prioritize all chores with product quality and presentation in
mind...bagging and merchandising/display of products is the top priority in
chores. Handle all products as if they were worth 10 times their
price--handle and package with care. Hustle at all times...moving fast
yet neatly and safely. Answer phones in a way that is consistent with our
standards of customers service, using a friendly and cheerful voice.
Develop a sharp sense of product knowledge using assigned materials and
training sessions to be able to answer customer's questions--be a bread
expert! Take special orders properly. Name and phone number of
orderer is a must. Organize orders so that productions staff can fill
every order on its due date. Help out in any assigned "Winning

Bread knead and production - Baking phenomenal bread is what our business is
all about. Can you get up early; do easy math calculations before dawn,
follow directions, stay focused and work quickly and efficiently? Are you
deadline and detailed oriented? Bread making combines art and science,
and you must be able to master both. Not for the faint-hearted, but oh-so
rewarding! When the dough hits the kneading table, you go to work.
You have to work quickly and efficiently. Kneading dough is an art, more
than a science, and is critical to baking phenomenal bread. We will teach
you what you "knead" to know, but you have to know you are willing to
learn and settle for nothing less than near perfection. It sounds simple;
you wait until the bread rises, get it into the oven and take it out when it's
done. Ah, but when you're operating a 30-pan oven, juggling five to six
types of breads, not so simple. Are you up for the challenge?

sandwiches. You're the one who puts it all together. You'll slice
fresh deli meats and cheese, prepare fresh vegetables and follow recipes to
