Production Associate

Cub Crunch is a new Dallas-based dessert company making small-batch, chocolate-and-peanut-butter-coated rice square cereal snacks (think muddy buddies, only better) in two flavors: Original and Cookies n Cream. We make everything by hand in a licensed commercial kitchen and ship it to customers nationwide. We're a small, growing team, and our first production hire will help shape how we make every bag. November through December 2026 is a trial run for this role and for our business. If it goes well, the position will be extended, potentially with more hours.

• Make Cub Crunch batches by following our recipes exactly: weigh ingredients, melt chocolate, coat the cereal, and finish with powdered sugar (and cookie pieces for Cookies n Cream)
• Operate and clean our chocolate melter and coating equipment
• Portion, weigh, seal, and label bags in 3.5oz and 6oz sizes, checking every bag for quality and correct net weight
• Check incoming online orders, pull and pack the right items, print shipping labels, and get packages ready for pickup or drop-off
• Keep the workstation clean and sanitized, following food safety rules and the commissary's policies
• Store ingredients properly and let us know when supplies run low
• Keep simple batch logs: date, flavor, number of batches, and bag counts
• Load supplies in and out of the kitchen at the start and end of each shift

Required

• 18 or older
• Available for about 20 hours a week (we're flexible on scheduling)
• Reliable transportation to the kitchen in Dallas
• Careful and consistent: you follow a recipe the same way every time
• A Texas Certified Food Manager (food safety manager) certificate, or willing to earn one shortly after hire. We'll pay for the course and the exam.
• Authorized to work in the U.S.
• A smartphone that can download and run our HR app, which you'll use to clock in and out and track your hours
• Comfortable using a computer to check online orders and respond to emails as needed during shifts

Nice to have

• Enjoys baking or cooking (no professional bakery or kitchen experience needed; we'll train you)
• Comfortable working on your own during a shift

• Stand for long stretches during a shift (4-5 hours at a time)
• Lift and carry up to 40 lbs (ingredient cases, supply wagon)
• Work around warm equipment, melted chocolate, and powdered sugar
• Work in a shared commercial kitchen used by other food businesses; you'll follow the kitchen's rules on scheduling, cleanup, and storage
• The product contains peanuts, milk, wheat, and soy, so this role isn't a fit for anyone with allergies to those ingredients
