About Us
Dandelion Chocolate is a bean-to-bar chocolate factory in San Francisco’s Mission District. We make chocolate from only two ingredients, cocoa beans and cane sugar, and travel to origins as often as we can to build good, trusting relationships with the producers who grow and ferment cacao beans. We’re seeking a Retail and Cafe Associate who will celebrate the care and thoughtfulness that goes into our chocolate through thoughtful hospitality and excellent service.
About the Role
As a Cafe and Retail Associate, you’ll first learn everything about chocolate from where cacao is grown, how it’s processed, and how to make your own batch of chocolate. You’ll become an expert taster of all of our drinks, treats, and bars and know how the chocolate origin impacts the flavor. While we’re chocolate makers, we partner with an equally passionate coffee company, Ritual Coffee Roasters who provide us with our coffee beans and extensive training program. Barista experience is not required. We are currently hiring part-time ~24 hours/ week, and this role starts at $19.75/hour plus tips.
A typical café day might start with working through your opening checklists, reading the daily cafe report to see when the dishwasher repair person will be arriving and ensuring the retail space is clean, stocked and ready for the first guest to arrive. When the line is out the door, your focus turns to ensuring each person receives a thoughtful, exquisite experience. During welcomed breaks from the rushes, you might restock the retail shelves, sweep the parklet, or adjust the espresso machine to ensure that shots are pouring consistently.
About You
Our ideal candidate is a mature, team-oriented, outgoing person who is excited to learn and share their chocolate knowledge. You develop authentic rapport with guests, can work independently as necessary, and you have the know-how to navigate unexpected situations with confidence. You love going above and beyond for a guest to ensure their visit is memorable, whether it’s a regular asking for you to hand deliver their hot chocolate to their car so they don’t wake their sleeping baby or a camera crew showing up to film in the café, you maintain your cool and jump in to help when needed. You aren’t intimidated by a long line of excited people and you love making spaces more efficient in downtime so that you’re ready for the busy period. Ideally, this isn’t your first time working in guest service, and you have the bandwidth and scheduling flexibility for a 30-day chocolate onboarding. You are excited to grow in your role, learn about chocolate and take on more responsibility.
