Company description

We're a bookstore specializing in food and drink. We serve customers all over the world, from absolute beginners to culinary veterans.

Job description

We're looking for a sales associate, someone who loves books, food, and drink, as well as helping people find the right books for their use and pleasure.

We need to fill a position working Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Hours are 10-6. Starting wage is $20, including a paid lunch break.

To begin, your primary responsibility will be order picking and packing for our online customers, and answering their questions about their order. This does mean lifting heavy boxes (40 lbs and more at times).

But as you get to know our stock, you'll also help with other customer inquiries, recommending books to people who could be Michelin-starred chefs or absolute beginners. There will be chances to get involved with other aspects of our culinary bookstore, from writing for our website to scouting books from overseas, to planning special offers for our customers.

We'd love it if you have some retail experience--it doesn't have to be in bookselling--but a knowledge of food and drink books is more important. If you apply, please don't just say you love cookbooks: Mention a few books you really know and love.
