Food Prep & Customer Service

Edible Arrangements is a premier provider of fresh fruit arrangements that blend the beauty of floral designs with the deliciousness of fresh fruit. As a company that specializes in creating unique gift baskets crafted from high-quality fresh fruit and other complementary products, Edible Arrangements operates in retail locations throughout the United States with a strong focus on customer satisfaction and product excellence. The Palm Bay location, situated at 600 Malabar Road SE, Palm Bay, Florida, is an integral part of this network, providing local customers with beautifully arranged fresh fruit baskets and excellent customer service.

This role is ideal for individuals passionate about customer service and food preparation, even those who do not have prior experience, as comprehensive paid training is provided. Employees in this position can expect a fast-paced, demanding retail environment that emphasizes maintaining strict health and safety standards. These practices are crucial due to the perishable nature of fresh fruit and other food items handled daily.

The Food Prep/Customer Service position involves a variety of tasks focused on ensuring the timely assembly of fresh fruit arrangements while engaging with customers both in person and through other ordering channels such as phone and internet. The role also includes hands-on experience as a barista, preparing smoothies and frozen yogurt with fresh fruits, adding an enjoyable and dynamic element to daily duties.

Team members in this role will work closely with others within the Palm Bay location and are required to be flexible and willing to train at the Melbourne location, with the possibility of working there if needed. This flexibility is important for maintaining the high standards and operational needs across multiple store locations.

The position offers part-time hours with the opportunity to transition to full-time based on performance and business needs. The company values candidates with experience in related fields such as florist work, cooking, catering, or culinary arts, but these are not mandatory since full training is provided. Employees will learn how to clean, wash, prepare, handle, store, and properly discard food items in compliance with company hygiene and safety regulations.

Working at Edible Arrangements means being part of a motivated team dedicated to delivering fresh, visually appealing products that delight customers. There is an emphasis on creating a supportive work environment that encourages growth and development, particularly through the paid training program which lasts for 40 hours. This training ensures that even those new to food preparation and customer service gain the skills and confidence necessary to succeed in this role.

Overall, the Food Prep/Customer Service position at Edible Arrangements in Palm Bay combines customer interaction, creative food preparation, and stringent health practices in a lively, customer-focused setting. It presents an excellent career opportunity for individuals eager to learn new skills, work with fresh, wholesome ingredients, and be part of a respected brand recognized for innovative and fresh gift options.
