Moonbelly Bakery is a bakery in East Sacramento specializing in sourdough bread and croissants. Everything is made with care and pride in-house. The bakery is open Friday through Sunday from 8am-1:30pm. We work very fast and efficiently as a team to create delicious, beautiful food humbly presented to a diverse customer base of college students, neighborhood families and area workers. 

Employees at the bakery are either counterpersons or bakers. Experience as a baker or counterperson is not required, though we ask that you demonstrate understanding of the pace and demands of cafe/bakery/restaurant work and an extraordinary eagerness to learn if inexperienced. We are open to hiring folks with little to no experience, gaps in resumes, or backgrounds that would exclude them from other job opportunities. It is our policy to provide equal employment opportunities to all without regard to any legally protected status such as race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability or veteran status and to create a workplace free of harassment and discrimination.

CURRENTLY HIRING! Bakers produce bread, viennoiserie, and pastries alongside the owner/head baker, using seasonal and local produce and ingredients whenever possible. Baker positions require lifting 50lb sacks of flour and large tubs/trays of dough and liquids while standing/walking throughout a shift. Bakers must be very comfortable with math and charts and will be using large equipment (mixers, ovens, sheeter, proofer-retarder.) Dishwashing and cleaning responsibilities will be shared by all, and organization and neatness while working is required.

The schedule for bakers is 5 shifts a week, 8:00 am-4:30 pm on Wednesday and Thursday, 6:00am-2:30pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Salary is hourly, dependent on experience, + tips. All tips are shared equally with the whole staff.

(NOT CURRENTLY HIRING) Counter staff greet customers, take, package and ring up orders. The interaction between counter staff and customers is the lynchpin of a neighborhood bakery, so counter staff need to be friendly, excellent communicators who enjoy interacting with and assisting others. All items are to-go only and, in addition to the bread and pastry, the counter staff produces a small drinks menu built around drip coffee and tea. There is no seating inside, but a small outdoor patio is maintained by counter staff. Counter staff are required to lift large containers of liquids, move furniture to the patio, and stand/walk throughout the shift. Dishwashing and cleaning responsibilities will be shared by all, and organization and neatness while working is required. 

The schedule for counter staff is 3 shifts a week, 7:00am-3:30pm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Salary is hourly, dependent on experience, + tips. All tips are shared equally with the whole staff.

Moonbelly Bakery is committed to always consider the ethical and political implications of our food and business choices while building a neighborhood bakery that is known for its incredibly talented staff who create food that the customers deeply enjoy. This is just the beginning, and we are immensely excited to find employees with enthusiasm and ideas for what they can create and accomplish while working here.
