Job Description

Military Deli & Bakery Services (MDBS) is a dedicated food service provider operating within 103 US Military Commissary locations across 32 states. We proudly serve the nation’s Military personnel and their families by offering quality deli and bakery products in a welcoming and customer-focused environment. MDBS is not a government entity; instead, we engage passionate individuals who value excellent food and exceptional service. Our team is committed to creating an outstanding experience for our military customers, ensuring their needs are met with care and professionalism. With a strong emphasis on teamwork, positive communication, and an enthusiastic service atmosphere, we continually strive to uphold and exceed the standards expected by our patrons.

The role of Deli Bakery Associate (Part-Time) is an exciting opportunity for individuals who enjoy working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and have a genuine passion for customer service and food preparation. This position offers approximately 15 hours per week with shifts generally scheduled from 9 AM to 2 PM, with some flexibility. As a Deli Bakery Associate, you will be involved in a variety of tasks ranging from slicing deli meats and cheeses to preparing custom party trays and sandwiches tailored to customer requests. Your responsibilities will also include assisting with stocking and organizing displays and supporting shipment processing. Maintaining the highest standards of sanitation and food safety is vital to this role. Depending on the business need, duties may also extend to cake decorating, baking, or preparing rotisserie chickens.

MDBS values cross-trained team members, so readiness to learn and assist in both bakery and deli operations is highly encouraged. With the possibility of weekend shifts, the role requires physical stamina, including standing, walking, and occasional lifting up to 50 pounds. The position promises not only competitive pay but also benefits such as paid time off after one year, holiday pay, a 401k plan, and a flexible schedule that allows for more personal time in the evenings compared to typical retail hours since our commissaries usually close around 7 PM.

MDBS is committed to career development, offering growth opportunities for team members interested in advancing to field and corporate management roles. With locations across many states, relocation within the company is possible without loss of seniority, supporting both work and educational pursuits. We are proud to be an E/M/F/Vet/Disability Federal Contractor, fostering an inclusive workplace that welcomes everyone. Joining MDBS means becoming part of a dedicated and motivated team whose mission centers on service, quality, and respect for our military community.
