Job Description
Ugly Bagel Company is a vibrant and fast-growing bakery brand known for its delicious, hand-crafted bagels and inventive spreads. Founded in Franklin, Tennessee, the company has cultivated a strong local following with its commitment to quality, unique flavors, and a fun, team-oriented culture. With multiple store locations and plans for further expansion across the Nashville area, Ugly Bagel combines artisanal product craftsmanship with efficient, dependable service. The company prioritizes a friendly work environment and values individuals who are passionate about both product quality and customer satisfaction. As an equal opportunity employer, Ugly Bagel is dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusion within its workforce.
The role available is a unique two-part position combining early morning delivery responsibilities with hands-on food production in a dynamic kitchen setting. The successful candidate will start their day by ensuring fresh bagels, cream cheeses, compound butters, and sauces are delivered promptly from the centralized production kitchen in Franklin to several store locations before they open at 7am. Timeliness and reliability are paramount, as the stores count on accurate and on-schedule deliveries to start their busy day. After the morning delivery route is complete, the employee will return to the production kitchen to prepare various food items including mixing cream cheese flavors, making sauces, and possibly learning the art of bagel rolling. The preparation work demands meticulous attention to recipe consistency, food safety, and cleanliness.
This position is ideal for individuals who enjoy early mornings with less traffic and a fast-paced, hands-on work environment that blends driving and kitchen duties. It offers a pathway for growth into more advanced roles such as baker or lead team member as the company expands from its current three locations to many more. The compensation is competitive, starting at $16 per hour depending on experience, with a flexible schedule that primarily covers early mornings and extends into midday. Working at Ugly Bagel not only offers a chance to be part of a growing brand but also to develop valuable skills in food production and logistics. Team members are supported in cross-training experiences to build versatility and expertise within the company. This role is perfect for self-motivated, punctual individuals with strong attention to detail and a positive team spirit who thrive in a supportive and lively bakery environment.
