Ice cream truck operator and vendor

Smaak Sjamaan is local business run by Loes and Menno who produce jams and sorbet ice cream from local and sustainable fruit. They have an ice cream shop in Culemborg along with an ice cream truck that operates throughout the region. Smaak Sjamaan approached Grounded Kitchen with aligned values and ethics to look for people who enjoy going to events with the ice cream truck.

Smaak Sjamaan goes to events almost every weekend in spring and summer, so it's nice to have a few people who are willing to do this. Typically, they need 2 ice cream scoopers per event, so there's also an opportunity for breaks. The days are often long due to setup and teardown.

Smaak Sjamaan looking for people to operate and take the lead on the ice cream truck with:

• A sense of responsibility, as you'll be the point of contact for the organization all day and ensure that everything runs smoothly
• Reliability; we schedule all weekends and trust that everyone will stick to the agreements (except for illness/unforeseen circumstances)
• A driver's license and the courage to drive a van with a trailer

They are also open to people without a driver’s licence for sales and build-up/down.

Smaak Sjamaan offers fair pay. More than minimum wage and the opportunity to share in the profits
