Job Description

Military Deli & Bakery Services (MDBS) is a dedicated food service company operating within 103 U.S. Military Commissary locations across 32 states. MDBS is proud to serve military personnel and their families by providing fresh, quality food products and exceptional customer service in a supportive environment. Although MDBS works closely with the military commissaries, it is important to note that this is not a government job, making the opportunity open for everyone interested in becoming a part of this rewarding field. MDBS fosters a culture of respect, teamwork, and dedication while promoting internal growth opportunities and flexible employee support.

The role of the Deli Bakery Associate at MDBS involves working as part of a vibrant team focused on delivering excellent customer service to military community members. In this part-time position, the associate will be directly involved in various food preparation and display duties within the deli and bakery departments. From slicing deli meats and cheeses to preparing custom party trays and sandwiches, this position demands attention to detail, precision, and pride in food handling. Associates will also maintain cleanliness and sanitation standards to meet health regulations while ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for customers and staff alike.

The part-time Deli Bakery Associate will be cross-trained in various tasks including cake decorating, baking, rotisserie chicken preparation, and managing inventory shipments. The position requires individuals who can thrive in fast-paced, sometimes physically demanding environments, as well as maintain effective communication and teamwork within the department. There is an opportunity to learn and grow with MDBS, as the company is known for promoting from within to leadership roles. This role offers great pay, flexible scheduling, holiday pay for over 10 holidays annually, paid time off with two weeks’ vacation after one year, and a 401k plan. The commissaries generally close around 7:00 pm, allowing associates more personal time compared to other retail settings.

MDBS values team players who are willing to learn and contribute to a positive atmosphere. Candidates should also be able to work some weekend shifts and have the physical ability to stand or walk during their shifts and occasionally lift up to 50 pounds. Those with prior grocery, food service, or retail experience will find this position especially rewarding. MDBS also supports relocation opportunities within its many locations, ensuring employees maintain their seniority when transferring. Overall, joining MDBS as a Deli Bakery Associate means joining a team that honors and serves the military community with pride, fosters an inclusive workplace, and offers real career growth in the food service industry.
