About Hoopla Donuts

At Hoopla Donuts, we're passionate about making exceptional donuts from scratch using quality ingredients, thoughtful recipes and a whole lot of care.

As part of the Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters family, we produce over 1,000 donuts daily for our Calgary cafés and wholesale partners.

We're looking for a reliable, enthusiastic and detail-oriented person to join our production team in a full-time role. This is a hands-on position combining dough preparation with the fast-paced work of producing, finishing and decorating our donuts.

About the Role

This position is split between two key areas of our production operation.

Dough Production – Sunday, Monday & Tuesday

You'll be responsible for preparing the dough that forms the foundation of our donuts, ensuring consistency, quality and efficiency throughout the process.

Responsibilities include:

• Mixing and preparing yeast-raised and specialty donut doughs according to established recipes and production standards.
• Operating commercial mixing, sheeting and cutting equipment.
• Rolling, sheeting and cutting a variety of donut shapes and styles.
• Monitoring dough temperature, consistency, resting times and fermentation.
• Preparing and organizing trays and racks for refrigerated storage and subsequent production.
• Scaling and preparing dry ingredient mixes for upcoming production.
• Maintaining a clean, organized and food-safe workspace.
• Identifying and communicating quality concerns or production issues.

General Donut Production – 2 Additional Shifts Per Week

On your remaining two shifts, you'll work alongside our production team to turn prepared doughs into finished donuts ready for our cafés and customers.

Responsibilities include:

• Proofing and frying donuts to established quality standards.
• Preparing glazes, icings, fillings, toppings and other finishing components.
• Filling, glazing, dipping and decorating donuts according to recipes and presentation standards.
• Assisting with specialty, seasonal and new product production.
• Monitoring product consistency, portion sizes and finished appearance.
• Organizing completed products for packaging and distribution.
• Supporting the team with daily production targets and maintaining an efficient workflow.
• Cleaning and sanitizing equipment, tools and work areas.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who takes pride in their work, enjoys working with their hands and thrives in a production environment.

The ideal candidate will:

• Be dependable, punctual and comfortable working early mornings and overnight shifts.
• Have strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing consistently high-quality products.
• Be comfortable working in a fast-paced, physically active environment.
• Be able to follow recipes, instructions and established production procedures accurately.
• Be organized, efficient and capable of managing tasks independently.
• Be willing to learn new techniques and work across different areas of production.
• Have a positive attitude and enjoy being part of a collaborative team.
• Be comfortable standing for extended periods and performing the physical tasks associated with bakery production.

Previous experience in a bakery, commercial kitchen or food-production environment is an asset, but not essential. We're happy to train someone who demonstrates a strong work ethic, reliability and a genuine willingness to learn.
