Overview

We are looking for someone to work along side the owner and learn the ropes of this entire wood-fired pizza operation. Once your experience has reached a level that you feel comfortable being left alone, you will take the lead role and run with it. If you are a creative type, you can have the freedom to develop and sell your creations as a special. If your creations are well received, we can add them to the permanent menu! We're looking for someone that want's to become part of the process, because the owner can't (and doesn't want to) do it alone! The more you do, the more you will be compensated!

Experience

- $20-$30/hr + tips can be expected for someone who is highly involved
- Tips are never guaranteed but can be very substantial!
This role is perfect for an energetic culinary new grad or more experienced professional looking for more creative freedom.
About us
Papalias was started in 2020 after the owner was let go from their 9-5 during the Covid epidemic. We have our own commissary kitchen in Raynham, MA and a renovated horse trailer with a 5000lb wood-fired pizza oven built inside of it. We take the trailer around Massachusetts to cater graduation parties, weddings, birthday parties, and any other reason someone wants wood-fired pizza cooked on site! When we're not catering, we have a license to sell pizza outside of our commissary kitchen in Raynham. We have a strong following, but need to be open more hours to satisfy the demand. Our plan for growth is to start with more hours doing "pop-ups" in front of our commissary kitchen, and eventually investing in a permanent brick and mortar building to have regular weekly hours.
