Merenda Box | Conshohocken, PA

Help shape the next chapter of a growing Brazilian bakery. Merenda Box is not looking for someone who only manages a schedule or maintains the status quo. We are looking for a hands-on operator who loves being in the kitchen, sees opportunity everywhere, and knows how to turn ideas into sales. If you can streamline production, bring structure to creativity, and help expand our presence in the community, you belong here.

About Merenda Box:

Merenda Box is a Brazilian-inspired bakery focused on sharing bold flavors, handcrafted recipes, and cultural heritage with our community. We are in an exciting growth phase and ready to bring on someone who understands that bakery success comes from great products and strong execution.

What You’ll Do:

Production and Operations:

• Lead and participate in daily bakery production.
• Maintain product quality, consistency, and presentation standards.
• Develop and implement workflows that improve speed and reduce waste.
• Oversee ordering, inventory, and vendor coordination.
• Ensure compliance with Department of Health requirements.

Brand Growth and Marketing Execution:

• Support content creation and storytelling around products and launches.
• Maintain a weekly marketing rhythm that aligns with seasonal items, holidays, and new menu initiatives.
• Ensure brand voice and presentation are consistent across platforms.
• Engage with customers and online inquiries in line with Merenda Box standards.

Sales and Revenue Development:

• Identify and secure wholesale opportunities.
• Maintain relationships with wholesale partners.
• Review sales trends and product performance.
• Execute promotions and initiatives that increase customer traffic and average ticket size, including new opportunities such as a lunch daypart.

What You Bring:

This position also offers additional earning potential tied to business growth, wholesale expansion, and operational efficiency. As Merenda Box continues to scale, the person in this role has the opportunity to increase their earnings beyond the hourly base rate.

Who Thrives Here:

Someone who wants to build something from the ground up. You enjoy rolling dough as much as rolling out ideas and believe growth comes from action. You are energized by creating systems, launching products, and seeing your work reflected in sales and customer excitement.

We’ve been making days brighter and coffee better since 2012, when our owner opened our doors and invited our community to be part her Brazilian family’s morning coffee tradition. In Brazil, coffee time is time to connect with family and friends in a welcoming space – that sense of connection is at the heart of ‘feine.
