What are the responsibilities and job description for the Night Owls Wanted: Overnight Prep & Sanitation Specialist position at The Works Bakery Cafe?
Description
While Lebanon sleeps, someone has to make the magic happen. The morning crew walks in to fully stocked Grab & Go coolers, spotless floors, and gleaming stainless steel, and it's all thanks to you. If you're the kind of person who finds a freshly mopped floor deeply satisfying, loves a good playlist and a quiet kitchen, and takes pride in work that speaks for itself, we'd love to meet you.
The Schedule
Sunday – Thursday, 11:00 PM – 7:00 AM. Fridays and Saturdays off, every week. No morning rush, no lunch chaos, just you, the kitchen, and a clear game plan.
What You'll Be Doing
Building tomorrow's Grab & Go lineup. You'll assemble parfaits, overnight oats, fresh fruit cups, and our snack boxes (Hummus, Avo Ranch, Tuna and more). You'll hit daily par levels without overdoing it, label and date everything, and keep coolers rotated FIFO so every item is fresh.
Resetting the café for a fresh start. You'll clean and restock coffee and beverage stations, sanitize the soup line, slicers, and prep areas, and handle trash and recycling across the building.
Going deep (literally). You'll pull out the line equipment, ovens, and coolers to scrub the spots no one else reaches. You'll also deep clean display cases, walk-in coolers, baker's racks, vents, and storage rooms on a rotating basis. You're the reason this place shines.
