We expect everyone to come to work ready to get their work done well – efficiently, without cutting corners.

We expect everyone who works here to have respect for themselves, their coworkers, the customer, the work, and the workspace. This includes maintaining a pleasant work environment and attitude, keeping the workspace and tools clean and orderly, and caring about the quality of each product that goes out the door.

We expect people who work here to care about serving people. This is a hospitality job and people come to us on their biggest days. They come to us with high expectations and it should always be our goal to delight and impress so they continue to come back, and want to share about their experience with people they know.

We expect people who work here to have a passion for their work. We expect them to have high expectations of themselves and their coworkers. They should be self-motivated and driven to put out their best work, and want to see the business grow – rather than staying stagnant.

We expect people who work here to have a growth mindset. They should watch trends, want to learn new skills and techniques – and be looking for new ways we can delight and impress our customers.

By nature, there are seasons when customers are more willing to shop – Valentine's Day, Graduation, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. As a small business, these seasons can make or break a year – setting us up for stability in the slower months, and giving us the capital to work towards future growth goals. We expect people who work here to do their part during those harder seasons – including overtime work – sos that we can properly capitalize on these opportunities as they arise.

We strive to make sure we are on the higher end of pay scales for similar jobs in Lincoln – with the goal for wages to increase and not become stagnant.

Tips are pooled and shared across all bakery staff based on hours worked.

A PTO policy is in place for all employees, both part-time and full-time to use for personal or sick leave.

We provide a consistent a stable schedule that employees can expect and count on. Work related contact outside of work hours is kept to a reasonable minimum – only as necessary. Ownership and management understands and respects that employees have lives outside of work.

Ownership and management work hard to foster a work environment where employees feel safe and welcomed. Feedback is respectful and helpful. Wins are celebrated and good work is rewarded. Opportunities are regularly provided for team building and growth. Management is accessible and available, willing to help resolve potential concerns and conflicts.

Ownership and management are transparent about the goals, expectations, and business operations. We believe that a small business requires "buy-in" to the vision from everyone who works for it. It's about the team as a whole – not about ownership. We host quarterly full-staff meetings to go over the health of the business and check in on goals so that employees can see the impact of their work.

We aim to provide a work environment where people can make working here a career. We have our sights set on creating a sustainable business where there is room for upward mobility in both pay and position for employees who want to grow in their careers.

Front of House Staff is the face of the bakery – greeting and assisting customers and representing the bakery through phone calls and customer interactions.
