Company Description: The mission of Baker’s Dozen Cookies is to become the first premium cookie brand to offer customers the opportunity to customize their own batch by choosing the dough & mix-ins. We also make a limited & dynamic menu of unique house flavors that we refer to as “artisanal cookies with attitude”. Baker’s Dozen (B13, for short) is committed to making each customer their next favorite cookie, whether it’s our recipe or theirs. We pride ourselves on our adult, humorous edge while ensuring a welcoming & fun experience for the whole family. Where else can you get a peanut butter cookie made with dough that’s rested two days before being hand-blended with premium chocolate morsels, dark chocolate peanut butter cups & topped with flaked sea salt? And it's called Peaz Nutz!? (If you don’t get the reference, you can probably stop reading here.) B13 is a woman-owned company that’s grown from a cottage food operation to a commercial one.

You follow procedures, while always thinking of ways to improve them. At the same time, you assert leadership when needed, making decisions on the fly to resolve issues & deliver the best service. You consider yourself a bit of a foodie who appreciates complementary flavors, textures & balance in whatever you eat. You have a sweet tooth! (Ideally for cookies, of course, but any consistent craving for cake, brownies, donuts or ice cream, etc. will do. 😊) You’re fluent in English, have a valid driver’s license & a reliable vehicle to transport yourself & all supplies to & from the kitchen needed to host a small pop-up individually (cookies, folding table, signage & display items, hand truck/wagon, etc.).
