JOIN THE LOVEBIRDS DONUTS TEAM
Creating a different kind of kitchen and service culture is very important to us. We run a respectful, quieter environment that may be a little different than the industry standard. We don’t blast loud music. We don’t yell when someone makes a mistake. We simply own our work and consistently strive to make things better, learn from our errors, and always do better next time. We help our team members. We share fun ideas. We all do the dirty work.
And as a company, Lovebirds Donuts offers team members access to excellent benefits that promote work-life balance. We have great health, dental, and vision coverage that is open to all team members. We also offer paid time off to all team members. We always find ways to sneak in surprises, bonuses, and perks. Our leadership works hard to provide our team members with a predictable schedule. This allows us to cultivate a superior work culture and talent within our team, and our team members work harder in turn because together we’ve created the kind of place where we want to share our best.
Lovebirds Donuts is growing and looking for one or two special people. We only accept applications online at this time.
