Job Description

Military Deli & Bakery Services (MDBS) is a dedicated food service provider operating within 103 US Military Commissary locations across 32 states. MDBS proudly serves the nation’s Military personnel and their families, providing a diverse range of deli and bakery products with a commitment to quality and exceptional customer service. The company is a Federal Contractor and follows nondiscrimination policies, emphasizing equal employment opportunities for everyone, including veterans, individuals with disabilities, and minorities. MDBS is not a government job but offers a unique opportunity to work within the military community while enjoying the benefits of a private sector employer. Employees experience a collaborative environment that values teamwork, positive communication, and a shared passion for food and customer satisfaction.

The role of a Deli Bakery Associate specializing in cake decorating at MDBS is a critical one within the bakery department. The primary responsibility is to expertly decorate cakes quickly and efficiently, typically within 15 to 20 minutes from start to finish. This position requires creativity, attention to detail, and a steady hand to ensure every cake meets high-quality standards and customer expectations. In addition to cake decorating, associates will assist in filling production cases, stocking baked goods on the sales floor, and maintaining attractive product displays.

The Deli Bakery Associate role requires working alongside a team dedicated to providing enthusiastic customer service in a fast-paced environment. This position also plays an essential part in ensuring the department complies with stringent sanitation guidelines, proper food handling procedures, and equipment cleanliness to maintain a safe and hygienic workplace. Associates must demonstrate the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously while under pressure and maintain a positive attitude.

MDBS is committed to staff growth and offers long-term career opportunities with a history of promoting from within. Employees looking for career advancement can aspire to move from associate roles into field and corporate management positions. The company also supports relocation options within its various commissary locations without loss of seniority, a benefit that encourages a flexible career path. MDBS values diversity and inclusiveness, welcoming applications from all backgrounds, age 18 and older, and those willing to cross-train in additional deli or bakery tasks. This role provides solid pay, benefits including paid time off, holiday pay, 401k, and flexible scheduling with relatively shorter work days as commissaries typically close by 7:00 pm, allowing for more personal time. Overall, this position is suitable for those passionate about baking and food service who enjoy working in a lively, supportive team setting dedicated to serving the military community.
