Job Description

Military Deli & Bakery Services (MDBS) is a unique food service company dedicated to serving the United States Military community and their families. Operating across 103 US Military Commissary locations, MDBS combines a passion for quality food with outstanding customer service to enhance the commissary experience for America’s servicemen and women. While the company operates within federal commissaries, it is important to note that MDBS is not a government employer. Instead, it welcomes candidates from all backgrounds who are eager to contribute to a meaningful mission supporting military families.

MDBS is proud of its commitment to excellence in the food industry, focusing on fresh deli and bakery products. Their role within military commissaries provides employees with a stable and rewarding work environment where professionalism, food safety, and customer satisfaction are paramount. This setting offers opportunities for growth and skill development for career-minded individuals, including those who might need relocation within the extensive network of 32 states covered.

The Deli Bakery Associate role at MDBS is integral to delivering an exceptional shopping experience. Associates work hands-on preparing and presenting deli meats, cheeses, custom party trays, and bakery items. Beyond the culinary tasks, maintaining sanitation and adhering strictly to food safety standards is vital, ensuring all products meet the high expectations of MCC customers. Flexibility is key since associates may engage in various duties within deli and bakery operations—from cake decorating and baking to rotisserie chicken preparation.

This position offers both full-time and part-time employment with immediate hiring offered, making it accessible for applicants seeking different schedules. The role also involves working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment that rewards excellent communication skills and a strong work ethic. Employees can expect to interact regularly with the military community, providing friendly and knowledgeable assistance tailored to their needs.

MDBS emphasizes employee well-being by offering competitive pay and a comprehensive benefits package which includes paid time off after one year of service, holiday pay, a 401k plan, and a flexible schedule. Seniority and internal promotions are highly encouraged, with many deli bakery associates advancing into field and corporate management roles over time. For employees requiring relocation for work or education, MDBS facilitates transfers to other commissary locations without losing seniority, enhancing career mobility.

If you have a love for food, a passion for serving others, and a desire to be part of a supportive team with a proud history of military service, joining MDBS as a Deli Bakery Associate is a rewarding opportunity. This role promises a chance to build valuable skills and contribute meaningfully every day while working in a welcoming environment that values respect, teamwork, and customer satisfaction.
