BECOME PART OF THE NEXT BIG NAME IN FOOD.

Think of the cult-classic devotion of In-N-Out, the hyper-quality and obsession of Jeni's, or the massive footprint of Krispy Kreme. That’s the trajectory we are on. And we aren't building it for outside venture capitalists to cash out first—we believe in startup-style ownership where the people actually building the brand share in the upside.

Back when we started, we were just a novice crew hunting for the best ingredients, constantly testing to perfect a better recipe. That relentless drive is what helped us win "Best Donut" against Chicago’s most established legends. Today, we hear "this is the best donut I've ever had" all the time—and it's all thanks to one secret weapon: POTATO

Our mission is simple: take seasonally fresh flavors and top-tier ingredients, mash them with potato (pun intended), and create a "wow" factor that completely redefines what a donut can be. Every single day, we aim for the absolute best.

We are looking for an experienced Head Baker & Kitchen Manager who wants to help scale an industry leader, not just punch a clock.

Real Equity & Ownership Mentality: Why should outside investors get all the rewards? We want leaders who think like owners and help drive our expansion.

A Culture of Care & Craft: No ego-driven chefs or corporate red tape. Just a tight-knit team of professionals who respect each other, protect each other's backs, and love what they do.

A Legacy to Build: When future interviews ask what your best job was, this should be your answer. Plant your roots here and grow with us.

YOUR ROLE: Take the reins, lead a team of adults, innovate without limits, and take massive pride in every single thing that comes out of our kitchen.
