Prep Person

Papa Murphy's Midwest is a proud franchisee of Papa Murphy's, one of the most recognized names in the take-n-bake pizza industry. While Papa Murphy's International, Inc., and its affiliates are the overarching brand, this opportunity is specifically with the franchisee, meaning that if hired, the franchisee will be your sole employer. The franchisees operate as independent business owners, which allows for distinct wage and benefit programs that can vary from one franchise to another. This independence ensures a personalized management approach and an intimate understanding of local community needs and preferences. Papa Murphy's itself is a leader in the pizza industry, renowned as the largest take-n-bake pizza chain in the United States. With over 1,200 franchised and corporate-owned stores spread across 36 states and Canada, Papa Murphy's has cemented its reputation by consistently delivering fresh, high-quality pizzas that customers can take home and bake themselves.

The company has garnered significant accolades over the years, including being named the "Best Pizza Chain in America" for seven consecutive years, as voted by consumers in the Restaurants and Institutions "Consumers' Choice in Chains" survey. Additionally, Papa Murphy's has earned the prestigious "Chain of the Year" award from Pizza Today four times, underscoring its leadership and innovation in the pizza business. The secret to their success lies in the commitment to using fresh dough made each morning in every store and generously layering pizzas with the finest fresh toppings, providing customers with a delicious and convenient meal option every time.

The role of a Pizza Prep Person at Papa Murphy's Midwest is central to maintaining these high standards for quality and customer service. As part of the team, you will be responsible for performing all duties related to preparing pizzas and servicing guests at the counter. This position requires a strong commitment to teamwork, attention to detail, and the ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment. Your tasks will range from preparing pizzas following precise portion charts and procedures, interacting with guests to ensure excellent service, to maintaining cleanliness and organization in your work area. The job also involves assisting guests in various ways - from wrapping their pizzas properly to verbal baking instructions and, when needed, helping them carry pizzas to their cars.

Working hours are schedule-based, and punctuality is critical as you will need to be present in full uniform at your designated workstation at the assigned time. The work involves physical activity, including bending and lifting, so physical stamina and the ability to handle moderately heavy items safely are important. Furthermore, the role includes tasks beyond pizza preparation such as restocking, cleaning, and potentially even serving as a cashier, making it a diverse and dynamic position that develops a broad skill set.

Papa Murphy's Midwest emphasizes excellent sanitation, food handling, and safety procedures to ensure customer and employee well-being. They foster a supportive environment where building strong relationships with supervisors, coworkers, and customers is encouraged. For those who value a role that blends culinary skill with interpersonal interaction in a popular and growing brand, the Pizza Prep Person position offers a rewarding opportunity to grow within a well-established company.
