9d•Onsite

About The Position

Dandelion Chocolate is a bean-to-bar chocolate factory in San Francisco’s Mission District. We make chocolate from only two ingredients—cocoa beans and cane sugar—and travel to origins as often as possible to build good, trusting relationships with the producers who grow and ferment the beans we buy. We are looking for a Retail Associate who is eager to assist our guests, sample chocolate, and keep our store looking its best. With the variety of guests, you’ll spend a lot of time discussing our mission, story, and chocolate. Throughout the day, you’ll be restocking our shelves, ringing up guests on the register, and preparing and boxing up orders. In the morning, you may guide guests through the shop and sample out chocolate. In the afternoon, you might be on the register, ringing up guests and ensuring they’ve taken care of everything on their holiday lists. After a deep dive training into our chocolate-making processes and products, you’ll be ready to jump in and get your hands dirty. We are hiring for one associate, who will work in two of our locations: Fillmore Street and our Powell Street pop-up. This position starts at $24 per hour.
