We're looking for a passionate, hard-working, and self-motivated team player to help craft our delicious ice cream! As an Ice Cream Maker, you'll be at the heart of our production team, creating the ice creams and toppings that keep our shops, catering, concessions, and vending fully stocked. You’ll also help fulfill wholesale and special orders—all while maintaining the highest quality and food safety standards.
Working closely with the Director of Kitchen and Logistics, you'll execute production tasks independently, following recipes and efficiently producing our signature treats. This is high-volume batch production in a fast-paced, upbeat environment, where you'll manage your own projects alongside the production and delivery teams.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives on multitasking and finds satisfaction in checking off a prep list. Successful candidates embody our core values: Generosity, Responsibility, Excellence, Being a Good Neighbor, and Thankfulness.
At Two Roosters, our ice cream makers don’t need prior ice cream-making experience—we’ll teach you everything you need to know! Two Roosters is an independent ice cream company that exists to explore how the joy of ice cream makes a bad day better and a good day great.
On an average day, you’ll start at 6:30 AM and work until your shift is complete, usually between 2-3 PM. You’ll be churning out large batches of ice cream while working to your own music and collaborating with the team to create exciting new flavors.
This is a year-round, full time position. Hours are typically highest during our busy season and may be reduced slightly from November through March based on seasonal production needs. While we aim to provide a consistent schedule, 40 hours per week are not guaranteed through these months.
