Based on experience and role, with opportunities for performance- and tenure-based wage increases.

At Budapest Bakeshop, we don’t just serve food—we serve joy (and chimney cakes, of course). We’re looking for an upbeat, multitasking master who genuinely enjoys connecting with people and keeping the front of house running like a well-oiled cinnamon-scented machine.

• Keeping front-of-house areas clean, organized, and well-stocked
• Restocking fridges, napkins, retail displays, and grab-and-go items
• Communicating clearly with the kitchen and sandwich team
• Maintaining a calm, positive vibe even when it’s busy
• Jumping in where needed with a team-first mindset

1. Upsell Like a Pro Hit weekly upsell goals for dips, drinks, and treats.

2. Order Accuracy = Happy Guests Less than 2% order errors tracked weekly.

3. Customer Feedback is Glowing

4. You’re Ready at Open Station stocked, clean, and guest-ready. 95%+ of shifts start strong.

5. You’re a Vibe You lift your team up, keep the energy high, and bring positivity to every shift. You’re the reason customers smile, and coworkers breathe easier.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Greet every guest like you mean it (smile, eye contact, good vibes)
• Take accurate orders and process payments like a pro
• Suggest drinks, dips, and other tasty extras—they’ll thank you for it
• Keep the front-of-house stocked, spotless, and looking sharp
• Restock fridges, napkins, retail shelves, and grab-and-go treats
• Stay in sync with the kitchen crew to keep the line moving
• Stay cool and kind, even when it’s busy or something goes sideways
• Jump in wherever needed—if something needs doing, you do it
• Use good judgment to handle small guest issues (or loop in a lead if needed)
• Rock the uniform, follow food safety guidelines, and keep it clean
• Bring your A-game on weekends and holidays (we get busy—and it’s fun!)
• And yes—other duties as assigned (because bakery life is full of surprises)

About Us

We didn’t invent the chimney cake (Hungary beat us to it by, oh, 300 years), but we did take it to a whole new level of deliciousness. At Budapest Bakeshop, we hand-roll and bake fresh chimney cakes and sandwiches all day long—right in Collingwood, where the streets smell like sugar and joy.

Guests don’t just grab their food and go—they watch it all happen. The baking. The filling. The magic. And you’ll be part of that front-row experience.

• Food Handler Certification (required or willing to obtain within 30 days)
• Experience in customer service, retail, or food service
• Comfortable using a POS system and handling payments with accuracy
• Able to stand for long periods of time

You’ll Love This Role If You Are:

• Outgoing, friendly, and genuinely love talking to people
• Quick on your feet and a natural multitasker
• Obsessed with accuracy and double-checking details
• Calm under pressure (even when the line is out the door)
• Motivated by team energy and great guest experiences
