About the role

Call Your Mother is the Jew-ish deli where Boca meets Brooklyn, grandma-level hospitality meets seriously good bagel sandwiches, and hard work meets face-melting vibes. Husband-and-wife team Andrew and Chef Dani built Call Your Mother around one simple idea: people deserve incredible food made by people who give an F. From our first farmers market stand in 2018, to shops across the DMV, Colorado, Chicago, and Philadelphia, we've grown by obsessing over the details and blasting the music and laughing along the way.

Behind every great guest experience is an even greater kitchen team. You'll thrive here if:

  • You love making things from scratch and take pride in doing them right
  • You know consistency is the secret ingredient behind great food
  • You enjoy staying active and keeping production moving without cutting corners
  • You like organized stations, sharp execution, and a clean kitchen
  • You treat strangers like neighbors
  • You see this as a team sport without big egos and jump in when a teammate is in need

  • Mix, shape, proof, bake, and finish bagels, pastries, and seasonal baked goods
  • Prepare spreads, sauces, dressings, proteins, and other house-made ingredients following recipes and production schedules
  • Prep, portion, package, label, and store products for delivery to our shops
  • Monitor product quality to ensure everything leaving the commissary meets CYM standards
  • Keep workstations, equipment, and production areas clean, organized, and food safe
  • Follow food safety, sanitation, allergen, and health department standards every step of the way
  • Communicate inventory shortages, equipment issues, waste, or quality concerns to leadership
  • Learn new production stations and continuously build your skills
  • Support teammates, help train new hires, and pitch in wherever the team needs you most

Requirements

  • At least one year of experience in food production, baking, prep cooking, or another fast-paced kitchen environment
  • Ability to safely wield a knife, follow recipes, stay organized, and take pride in producing consistently great food

Physical Requirements

  • Seeing, hearing, speaking, reading, and communicating effectively
  • Standing, walking, reaching, bending, and performing repetitive physical movements
  • Lifting up to 50 pounds
  • Safely operating equipment and tools using manual dexterity
  • Working in a fast-paced environment around hot equipment, sharp tools, and varying temperatures
  • Occasionally working in confined spaces

These physical requirements may be accomplished with or without reasonable accommodation.
