As a small business, everyone helps with cleaning tasks. There will likely also be opportunity to put on a hairnet and apron to help on the packaging line when needed.We are looking for someone who is fluent with computers, isn’t afraid to sit in the office making phone calls to grocery store managers to talk about our products, and then likes to get up and pack the orders they just took.
