We make what a lot of people call the best cookies they've ever had. Our customers don't just buy cookies — they come back every single week. We're looking for someone who understands that kind of relationship and knows how to build it.

About the role

You'll be the face of Magnolia Kitchen and Bakery at our weekend farmers markets in Poway (Saturday) and La Jolla (Sunday). That means picking up product from our Vista kitchen each morning, driving to market, setting up the booth, selling all day, and returning product and equipment afterward. You'll spend your weekends outdoors, meeting great people, and selling a product that practically sells itself once someone takes a bite.

Approx. 5:15am – 2:45pm (~9+ hrs)

Sunday — La Jolla Open Aire Market
Approx. 6:15am – 2:45pm (~8+ hrs)

Clock-in begins at our Vista kitchen at product pickup.
A strong sales person who builds real connection with customers can realistically average $24–30+/hr across the weekend with tips, bonuses, and mileage.
