The Fresh Prep Team Member role at Black & Brew offers an exciting and rewarding opportunity to be a key part of the kitchen operations in a busy, fast-paced cafe environment. Unlike many experiences in the hospitality industry, this position is designed to be both supportive and enjoyable, with an emphasis on professionalism balanced with a light and positive atmosphere. Team members will take pride in preparing some of the best sandwiches, salads, soups, and flatbreads in town made from fresh, scratch-made ingredients. As a Fresh Prep Team Member, you will be responsible for prepping fresh vegetables, making sides such as quinoa and potato salads, preparing sauces and dressings, and handling deli meats and cheeses. Your work will be integral in delivering beautifully crafted menu items that customers love, giving you immediate gratification from the fruits of your labor. The role demands efficiency and teamwork, as Black & Brew’s kitchen is a busy setting where shifts pass quickly but are fully supported by organized leadership and a close-knit staff. Responsibilities also include maintaining a clean and sanitary work environment through dishwashing, surface sanitization, and proper food storage. The company values attitude highly and welcomes applicants who are enthusiastic, team-oriented, and eager to learn, regardless of prior kitchen experience. Black & Brew offers a positive, respectful work environment that aims to cultivate good working relationships and a sense of belonging within its growing family.
