Ready for a Kahala job that could turn into a career?
L Gelato Hawaii is hiring Retail Associates and Shift Leads at our Kahala Mall location, and we're looking for people who bring good energy, want to grow fast, and take pride in what they do.
We're a locally owned, family run company with 15 years on Oahu, six locations island wide, and a founder who competed for Team USA at the Gelato World Championship. Our gelato is the real deal, and so is our team culture.
No experience? No problem. We train you from day one, and we promote from within. Many of our current managers started exactly where you would.
Your Path Here: Retail Associate → Shift Lead → Assistant Manager → Store Manager
Retail Associate just takes a great attitude and a willingness to learn. Shift Lead is the next step: if you've got supervising experience (food service is a plus) along with strong communication and leadership instincts, we want to fast track you into running the floor during your shift.

- $20.00 to $23.00 per hour, including tips
- Free gelato and coffee every shift
- Flexible scheduling that works with school, side gigs, or your life
- 401(k)
- Paid time off
- Employee discount
- Real career growth, many of our managers started in this exact role
What You Will Actually Be Doing
- Creating genuine guest experiences with warmth and hospitality
- Mastering the craft of our world class gelato and barista style coffee drinks
- Running the register and keeping the store clean, stocked, and guest ready
- Leading and supporting your team during your shift (Shift Lead)
- Getting hands on with special events and off site catering
Who We're Looking For
- Retail Associate: no experience needed, just bring a great attitude and a willingness to learn
- Shift Lead: supervising experience preferred (food service a plus), strong leadership and communication skills required
- Availability: must be able to work a mix of weekdays and weekends
