Job Description

Blackberry Market is a vibrant fast-casual cafe and bakery located in the Chicago suburbs. As a well-loved neighborhood spot, Blackberry Market specializes in offering daily handcrafted meals, dinners to-go, premium coffee drinks, and memorable baked goods that reflect a commitment to freshness and quality. The cafe also features a robust catering menu, serving a wide range of customers who appreciate thoughtfully prepared food and a welcoming atmosphere. At Blackberry Market, food is viewed not just as nourishment but as a reason to pause, reflect, and connect with loved ones. This philosophy fuels the company’s dedication to non-processed, handmade, and fresh food, creating an environment where every visit becomes a meaningful experience.

The company is on a rapid expansion path and is actively seeking passionate and dedicated team members to join its growing staff. Blackberry Market prides itself on being a unique workplace that balances high standards of quality and guest care with an excellent work-life balance and a positive work environment. Employees enjoy competitive pay and a range of benefits that underline the company’s care for its team, including health insurance and paid time off.

The role available is a part-time dishwasher position, an introductory role that is pivotal to the smooth functioning of the cafe. This position supports the customer service staff by managing dishwashing duties, assisting as a food runner, and maintaining cleanliness in the dining area. The dishwasher ensures that all dishes are sanitized according to strict procedures, including the proper use of the dish machine and three-compartment sinks. Additionally, this role involves cleaning and sanitizing the kitchen, dining areas, restrooms, and floors to maintain a hygienic environment. The dishwasher may also assist in light general maintenance tasks, such as helping to put away deliveries and supporting building upkeep, as well as clearing snow from sidewalks.

This position requires availability for closing shifts around 6 pm and flexible availability on weekends. Blackberry Market emphasizes the importance of teamwork, good communication skills, patience, and a positive attitude under pressure. The dishwasher role is particularly suitable for individuals seeking a supportive work environment with no evening shifts beyond the closing time and the ability to contribute meaningfully to a fast-paced, friendly cafe. The pay range for this role is between $15.00 and $17.00 per hour, reflecting fair compensation for part-time work with opportunities for benefits and growth within the company.
