Sharp, High-Energy Team Member Wanted 🍨☕🥨

Izzy’s Ices in Downtown Santa Cruz is hitting the "refresh" button! We’ve spent over two years perfecting our craft, and now we’re looking for a foundation crew of independent, fast-learning individuals to help us run the show.

The #1 Requirement: Must Love the Product!

We don’t just hire "scoopers"; we hire Brand Ambassadors. You must actually like Italian Ice to work here. If you’ve been in a few times and love the vibe, you’re exactly who we’re looking for. If you haven't tried us yet, come by the shop before you apply. We want to hire people who are already fans of what we do.

The Role: The Solo Shop Operator

At Izzy’s, you aren’t just a "scooper." You are a Barista, a Pretzel Pro, and a Brand Ambassador all in one. Because our shifts are typically solo, we need people who take pride in "owning" the shop while they’re on the clock.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Adult Professionalism: Applicants must be 18 years or older to be considered for this role.

  • High-Speed Precision: You grasp new skills quickly—whether it’s pulling a perfect espresso, mastering the "Izzy’s Shave," or timing a hot pretzel.

  • System-Driven: We have clear, documented processes. You love a good checklist because it helps you move fast without missing a beat.

  • Experience (Huge Plus!): Previous experience with Espresso/Coffee or Food Handling is highly preferred and will put you at the top of our list.

  • Authentically Reliable: You’re the "CEO" of your shift. You show up on time, every time, ready to lead.

  • Core Values: You lead with Honesty, Respect, Reliability, and Fun & Smiles.

The Perks:

  • Starting Wage: $17.00/hr.

  • Tips: Avg. range of $2.00–$6.00+ per hour extra.

  • Growth Potential: We are looking for our first Shift Lead from this group—a path to management for those who want it.

  • Independent Environment: A fun, fast-paced workspace where you are trusted to run the business.
