About the Role

Jezabel’s is a woman-owned, Northwest Argentine bakery, restaurant, and market rooted in kindness, hospitality, and attention to detail. We are looking for a Back of House team member who takes pride in their craft, supports the team, and values consistency — in both food and attitude.

This position focuses on empanada production and baking, and also supports broader bakery prep and market production. Experience helps, but attitude is more important — we’re happy to train someone who brings curiosity, care, and a willingness to grow.

  • Follow production lists for empanadas, quiches, and savory items

  • Support bakery and farmers market production as needed

  • Maintain a clean and organized workspace

  • Participate in kitchen reset and shared cleaning duties — we work as a team

Qualifications
  • 1–2+ years kitchen, bakery, or BOH experience

  • Strong attention to detail and pride in quality

  • Able to lift 50 lbs and work on your feet for 6–8 hours

  • Available Monday–Sunday, with at least one weekend day required

  • Comfortable in a collaborative, feedback-oriented environment

  • Spanish-speaking is a plus, not required

đź’¬ What We Offer
  • A warm, intentional kitchen culture rooted in mutual respect

  • Competitive hourly pay based on skills and contribution

  • Opportunities for growth and cross-training in:
    → Quiche and savory baking
    → Pastry production
    → Cooking classes and event prep
    → Occasional dinner service and communal dining events

  • Staff discounts and seasonal perk.

Argentinean

Casual Dining, Upscale Casual, Bakery / Patisserie, Event

Rooted in Northwestern Argentine traditions, our bakery, market, and restaurant offer a modern escape in the city of Philadelphia. We believe in creating simple, beautiful food in a beautiful setting—welcoming both our guests and our team.

Reflecting the seasons and our commitment to real, simple food, we make everything in-house. Our kitchen is seed oil-free, we use grass-fed beef, and we partner with small, dedicated producers both locally and globally.

The Bakery:Our pastry counter meets the modern all-day café by Jezabel Careaga, serving Argentine empanadas, alfajores, and a variety of seasonal offerings. These feature Vamo Coffee at our espresso bar and single-origin loose leaf teas by In Pursuit of Tea. A bite of a medialuna and a sip of café con leche will transport you to Buenos Aires. This space is designed for casual indoor dining, al fresco garden dining, or takeaway.

The Market: The market operates in two ways. First, as a curated selection of items that make simple living eco-friendly and timeless, highlighting local producers and artisans—available in our Bakery. Second, as a stand in local farmers’ markets, offering empanadas, pastries, veggie sides, and sauces.

The Dining Room: Whether you join us in our Atelier or at our Chef’s counter in the open kitchen—where all the fun happens—you'll experience a Northwestern Argentine menu inspired by Jezabel’s childhood memories, her travels, and her daily dining table. Restaurant guests can expect a Argentine charm and a casual, hands-on dining experience, because that’s the best way to enjoy an empanada.

We are open for breakfast, lunch, and takeaway Wednesday to Saturday.

We also offer cooking classes at our Chef’s counter and private dinners in our open kitchen dining room or Atelier (or both), for groups of 12 to 50 guests. These are available Wednesday to Friday, with occasional Saturday availability for larger celebrations.
