Job Description

The Country Store is a well-established retail and bakery destination known for its charming rural ambiance and community-focused approach. Catering to locals and visitors alike, the store features a variety of specialty foods, fresh produce, and baked goods that showcase traditional recipes and high-quality ingredients. Nestled in a picturesque area, the Country Store is dedicated to providing a warm and inviting experience, blending old-fashioned service with modern standards of quality and hygiene. This establishment takes pride in its handcrafted products made in-house, holding a proud reputation for its delicious apple cider donuts that have become a signature item drawing consistent foot traffic to the location.

The role of Donut Maker, reporting directly to the Country Store Manager, is a crucial position responsible for the preparation and production of apple cider donuts — a cornerstone product of the bakery that garners wide acclaim.

This position requires careful adherence to recipes, precise measurement of ingredients, and proficient use of commercial kitchen equipment such as mixers and donut fryers. Working in collaboration with both bakery and store personnel, the Donut Maker helps maintain a seamless production workflow, providing excellent product availability for both regular and special occasion sales.

The Donut Maker must ensure the quantities prepared align with store needs while assisting in handling overall bakery workload during busy periods. This dynamic role offers an excellent opportunity for individuals passionate about baking and food preparation who thrive in a fast-paced, community-centric setting.
