Job Description

Military Deli & Bakery Services (MDBS) is a prominent company specializing in providing high-quality deli and bakery products to U.S. Military personnel and their families through commissary locations on military bases across the United States. With 103 locations nationwide, MDBS is dedicated to serving those who serve the nation, offering an exceptional customer experience rooted in a love for food and a commitment to outstanding service. MDBS operates in a unique environment where customer service excellence meets efficient food preparation and presentation to meet the demanding needs of military families and personnel.

This position is a part-time role for a Deli Bakery Associate focusing on closing shifts, typically running from 2 pm to 7 pm. The primary responsibility is to maintain a welcoming atmosphere that exemplifies enthusiasm for customer service, teamwork, and positive communication. As a Deli Bakery Associate, you will be actively engaged in slicing deli meats and cheeses as per customer requests, preparing custom party trays, making sandwiches, and assisting in stocking and organizing displays. Additionally, you may be involved in other deli and bakery-related tasks such as cake decorating, baking, rotisserie chicken preparation, and ensuring proper sanitation and food handling procedures are followed. This role demands flexibility, the ability to work efficiently under pressure, and a genuine passion for food and customer interaction. MDBS offers a dynamic work environment with opportunities for those interested in cross-training and expanding their skills across different food service areas.

The role emphasizes teamwork and collaboration with other team members to meet daily operational goals, especially during busy closing shifts. Employees are expected to work quickly and maintain high standards of quality and cleanliness. Given the nature of the work, the ability to stand for an entire shift, lift up to 50 pounds, and tolerate working in freezer conditions for short periods is essential. This position welcomes applicants from all backgrounds; it is important to note that employment at MDBS is not a government job, so everyone is encouraged to apply. With a history of promoting from within, MDBS offers significant growth potential for dedicated employees seeking to advance their careers into field and corporate management roles. Flexible scheduling and respect for personal time are also key benefits, making this an attractive opportunity for individuals seeking part-time work with meaningful engagement and career growth potential.
