Job Description

Ralphs, a proud member of The Kroger Company since 1998, is a leading supermarket chain based in California. With over 180 stores serving customers throughout the state, Ralphs plays a pivotal role in providing fresh, quality food and exceptional service to its community. As part of the Kroger family, Ralphs upholds a rich tradition of innovation, diversity, and inclusion, united by a common purpose: To Feed the Human Spirit. This purpose drives everything we do—from how we treat our customers and associates to the careful selection and preparation of our products. Our stores are more than just grocery locations; they are neighborhood hubs dedicated to delivering memorable shopping experiences and fostering a welcoming atmosphere where people matter.

We are currently seeking dedicated and customer-focused Grocery Clerks specializing in Bakery and Deli departments to join our team. These positions offer a great opportunity for individuals passionate about food and service to thrive in a supportive, inclusive environment. Whether you are looking for part-time work or a potential career path, Ralphs provides flexible scheduling options and comprehensive benefits to support both your professional and personal growth. As a Grocery Clerk in Bakery or Deli, you will play a key role in creating outstanding customer experiences through exceptional service, product knowledge, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. Your contributions will directly assist department managers in achieving sales and profit goals, while ensuring adherence to quality assurance standards.

The role centers around embracing the Customer 1st strategy by encouraging and demonstrating excellent customer service behaviors. You will be responsible for preparing bakery and deli items to customer specifications, offering samples to introduce new products, and advising customers on bakery and deli specials. Your expertise will help customers find the products they need, and your attention to detail will ensure correct portion sizes to minimize waste and maintain product quality.

Beyond direct customer interaction, you will utilize various bakery and deli equipment such as ovens, slicers, refrigerators, and freezers while following company guidelines and food safety regulations. You will maintain product freshness by monitoring sell-by dates and temperature logs, package and label items accurately, and manage inventory effectively. Your proactive approach to safety includes identifying unsafe conditions, practicing preventive maintenance, and reinforcing safety programs.

At Ralphs, we value respect, honesty, integrity, and diversity. Our associates are encouraged to work cooperatively in a fast-paced environment, managing conflicts with professionalism and acting with ethical standards at all times. We provide training and resources to help you grow, including access to tuition reimbursement, employee assistance programs, and valuable discounts.
