It depends on the position and our current bandwidth for training.
Often we can teach a new hire from scratch, as long as you are eager to learn and apply yourself, but sometimes an opening will require experience and advanced skills. Just check out the most current "now hiring" notes!

Yes! Keep in mind that while certain openings may lean more heavily toward baking or customer service, ALL staff help with both.

We require all staff to be at least 17 years old. If you are a student inquiring about an internship, please contact our Staff Support coordinator at staffsupport(at)muddysbakeshop.com

We typically reply within one week. If we think there will be a longer delay, we'll be clear about this in the job description.

In general, the process goes like this:
1. Review all applications
2. Phone interview & go over basic Q&A about the job
3. In person interview to get to know each other
4. Sample shift! A "test drive" helps you determine if this is where ya want to be.
5. Offer
Obviously we do our best to narrow the pool at each stage. We respect your time and will not advance you to the next stage if we don't feel confident that this could be a good fit.

Yes! Sometimes it just doesn't work out the first time-- scheduling, specific skill match, etc. We LOVE when folks re-apply when another spot opens up!

There are lots of places your friend can use a computer- public libraries, schools, etc. But you can also print our application and they can fill it out by hand and mail/drop off at the bakery.

A third of our team has worked here 5+ years; 75% of us have worked here 3+ years.
We LOVE working with folks long term and continue to prioritize making Muddy's a rewarding long term career.

We are a relatively flat organization with few managers, but we are all leaders.
Growth usually centers on mastery of skill (increasing speed and/or expertise, teaching others, etc) or increasing responsibility (ie: purchasing supplies, keeping accurate inventory, etc.)
Wage growth happens along with this, as well as our staff bonus program.

Our week consists of 1-2 days of prep before the party officially starts! We welcome guests into the bakery and bake bake bake!
We gather for all staff meeting the 2nd Tuesday of each month to dig into the finances, address new business, and often learn something together.
As for the year, Jan usually starts slow and is often a time of reformatting and organizing, Feb/Mar things pick up and Valentine's day is crazy! Apr/May are peak season as folks celebrate Easter, Mother's Day, graduations, etc. June/July/Aug usually are slower and we do a lot of getting our ducks in a row for holidays. Oct is steady and then it's wahoo holiday season for Nov/Dec...
