Job Description

Military Deli & Bakery Services (MDBS) is a distinguished company dedicated to serving the military community by providing high-quality deli and bakery products within the United States Military Commissary system. With operations at more than 103 commissary locations nationwide, MDBS takes pride in supporting the nation's military personnel and their families. The company is widely recognized for its commitment to excellence in food preparation and a passion for delivering outstanding customer service experiences. As a part of MDBS, employees contribute to a supportive and respectful environment that honors the sacrifices of military families by providing fresh, appetizing deli and bakery items in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

The Deli Bakery Associate role with cake decorating experience is an exciting opportunity to join a reputable and supportive employer that values teamwork, quality, and customer satisfaction. This position is not a government job; rather, it is administered by MDBS on behalf of the commissary system, welcoming all applicants including veterans and those with disabilities. The associate will be primarily responsible for decorating cakes in a timely and efficient manner, fulfilling display and stock needs for various bakery items, and maintaining sanitary standards within the department. This role demands a blend of creativity, attention to detail, and dedication to serving customers in a fast-paced environment.

The successful candidate will handle cake decorating from start to finish, completing each cake within 15-20 minutes, ensuring each cake is visually appealing and meets customer expectations. Additionally, the associate is expected to assist in filling production cases, restocking display tables, and ensuring an engaging, positive experience for customers through enthusiastic customer service and teamwork. The associate is also responsible for maintaining cleanliness and sanitation standards in compliance with food safety regulations and company policies, ensuring that all equipment is properly maintained and that proper food handling practices are observed.

MDBS fosters a work environment that encourages effective communication among team members, supporting a culture of mutual assistance and professional growth. The role requires individuals who can perform well under pressure, adapting to a fast-paced workplace where multitasking and problem-solving skills are essential. Employees are offered flexible schedules and various benefits that promote work-life balance. With opportunities for career advancement, MDBS prides itself on promoting from within, providing a path for deli bakery associates to grow into field and corporate management roles. With commissary locations spanning 32 states, employees may have the ability to relocate without losing seniority, supporting both career and personal goals.

Overall, this position represents a rewarding career choice for individuals passionate about food and customer service, eager to contribute to an organization that honors military communities. Whether you have prior cake decorating experience or desire to expand your skills through cross-training in deli and bakery tasks, MDBS provides a welcoming and inclusive environment that values diversity, teamwork, and excellence in customer service.
