About Us
Dandelion Chocolate is a bean-to-bar chocolate factory in San Francisco's Mission District.

About You
You are proactive and willing to lend a hand to anyone on the team. When you arrive in the morning, you notice that the boxes from the latest FedEx delivery are blocking the hallway. You move them to a safer place where they are out of the way so that guests and employees can walk through the hallway easily. Next, you notice that someone spilled their hot chocolate in the cafe so without missing a beat, you grab a mop and clean up the spill while keeping in mind that the floor is slippery and putting out a "Caution" sign until it's dry. You always make sure that dirty dishes are cleared quickly, that the bus bins are cleared regularly, and that we have ample dishware and water glasses in the cafe for both customers and your fellow team members.

  • Perform job functions with attention to detail, speed, and accuracy
  • Other tasks as necessary

Requirements
  • Available Tuesday - Thursday from 1:30p-9:30p and Friday - Saturday 2:30-10:30p.
