Pay: Starting at $20/hr. (includes hourly wage + shared tips)
About Handel’s:
Since 1945, Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream has been crafting small-batch ice cream fresh daily using original recipes and real ingredients. Known nationwide for quality, portion size, and value, we take pride in serving generous scoops that keep guests coming back.
We’re launching a new Little Italy location in one of San Diego’s busiest, most visible neighborhoods. Built for high volume and strong foot traffic, this store is positioned for a high-energy summer opening.
We are currently building our opening team—a group that will train together and help establish the foundation for long-term success.
Why This Role Stands Out:
This is a grand opening hire, not a typical position.
Participate in team-based training ahead of opening
Help shape the standards, pace, and culture of a new store
Gain experience in a high-volume, flagship environment
Be part of a group expected to execute at a high level from the start
With a new store comes real opportunity—this is an entry-level role with a clear path for progression as the team grows.
Key Responsibilities:
- Product Knowledge: Learn and confidently present our 48 daily flavors (from over 150 recipes)
- Guest Service: Maintain a positive, efficient flow during high-volume periods
- Register Operations: Handle transactions accurately and professionally
- Store Upkeep: Keep your station clean, organized, and efficient
- Team Contribution: Be dependable, communicate clearly, and support your coworkers
- Scheduling: Availability for nights, weekends, and peak summer shifts is required
Compensation & Benefits:
- Pay + Tips: $20/hr. starting rate including tip share
- Pre-Opening Training: Structured onboarding with hands-on practice
- High-Energy Work Environment: Fast-moving shifts with strong team coordination
- Growth & Advancement: New store openings create opportunities for promotion, and we have multiple locations across San Diego offering continued career development
- Consistent Scheduling: Open daily from 11 AM to 11 PM with stable part-time hours
The Handel’s Work Environment:
Systems-driven and well-organized operations
Team-oriented culture focused on accountability
Performance-based recognition
Opportunity to contribute to a store launch from day one
