About Us

Dandelion Chocolate is a bean-to-bar chocolate factory in San Francisco. We make chocolate from only two ingredients—cocoa beans and cane sugar—and travel to origins as often as possible to build good, trusting relationships with the producers who grow and ferment the beans we buy. We are looking for Seasonal Cafe and Retail Associates who are eager to assist our guests, sample chocolate, serve drinks and pastries, and keep our stores looking their best. We have four locations in San Francisco and are hiring seasonally for all of them: 16th Street, Valencia Street, Ferry Building, and Fillmore Street

About The Job

With the variety of guests that come into our stores, you will spend a lot of time discussing our mission, story, and chocolate. Throughout the day, you’ll be restocking our shelves, ringing up guests on the register, and preparing and boxing up orders. In the morning, you may guide guests through the shop and sample chocolate, giving genuine recommendations. In the afternoon, you might be on the register, ringing up guests and ensuring they’ve taken care of everything on their holiday lists. After a deep dive training into our chocolate-making processes and products, you’ll be ready to jump in and get your hands dirty. We are hiring seasonally for all of our SF locations: 16th Street, Valencia Street, Ferry Building, and Fillmore Street. This seasonal position pays $20.75/hour plus tips at cafe locations and $23.75/hour at the retail-only Fillmore Street location.

About You

Our ideal candidate is outgoing, organized, and enjoys interacting with the diverse array of guests that come by our stores. You take pride in perfectly stocked shelves and engaging with our guests. You love to share knowledge and make people excited to come back with friends and share their newfound knowledge.
