Job Description

This opportunity is presented by a Dunkin' franchisee, a well-established business that operates under a franchise license granted by DD Franchising LLC and BR Franchising LLC. This Dunkin'/Baskin restaurant is an independently owned and operated establishment dedicated to delivering high-quality baked goods and ice cream products. The franchisee maintains full responsibility for operations, staffing, wages, and benefits, reflecting the entrepreneurial spirit typical of franchise owners.

You will often coordinate with customers both in person and over the phone, quoting prices and handling special orders with professionalism and courtesy.

Beyond technical skill, the position demands excellent interpersonal abilities to foster positive customer experiences and teamwork within the store. Standing for extended periods and managing a fast-paced work area are physical expectations accompanying this role. Your artistic talents will help you execute elaborate and visually attractive pastry designs that delight customers and reinforce the franchise's reputation for quality and creativity.

If you are seeking a flexible, rewarding position where your craft and customer service skills are valued, joining this Dunkin' franchise team as a Cake Decorator offers an excellent career path that combines artistry, culinary expertise, and entrepreneurial spirit.
