Van Driver (Bagels!)

Hank's Bagels is hiring experienced drivers to move fresh bagels, food, and equipment between our Sherman Oaks bagel production commissary and our shops! Our commissary is the  central kitchen responsible for making all the bagels and prepped food items served daily at our  four Hank’s locations . The driver will use our cargo van to make sure every location has what they need every day.

At this time we are only interested in applicants with at least two years' experience driving a car or van for work . You'll be an even better candidate if you're experienced with food and kitchen work, especially in a commissary, prep, or baking role.

This position requires regularly lifting and carrying items weighing up to 50 pounds over short distances.

Drivers must have a valid driver's license and an excellent driving record.

Hank's is a growing, people-first company full of joy and excitement--we work hard and we laugh hard. Our most successful coworkers are excited, reliable, punctual, humble, open to direction, and eager to learn. We are very busy, so it's important to be flexible and work well under pressure.

• Load and unload bagels, food, and equipment onto and off of our cargo van
• Safely and efficiently drive the van between our locations
• Work as part of a small, dedicated team focused on consistency and quality
