$20/hr | Hummus Salesperson | Smorgasburg LA (Downtown LA)

Farmers Market Staff – Obour Foods (Part-Time, Weekends)

Are you a morning person with weekends free who LOVES great food? Come join the Obour Foods team!

About Us:

Obour Foods is a San Francisco-based maker of gourmet hummus, tahini, and toum. We sell at 18+ farmers markets across the Bay Area and are now expanding into Los Angeles.

Many people say it’s the best hummus they’ve ever had—we’re inclined to agree.

Position:

We’re hiring a friendly, dependable market staff member to represent Obour Foods at Smorgasburg LA. This is a long-term position (6+ months), not a seasonal gig.

Schedule:

Sundays at Smorgasburg LA
Hours: 9:15am – 4:30pm

Pay & Perks:

• $20/hour starting wage
• Free hummus every week
• Generous trade policy — $60 worth of Obour product each shift to barter at the market

Responsibilities:

• Unload and reload delivery van
• Set up and break down 10'x10' tent, tables, and display
• Sample and sell Obour products with enthusiasm
• Educate customers about what makes our hummus and tahini special
• Keep the booth clean, organized, and welcoming

This might be the job for you if:

• You’re reliable and punctual — you show up early, not late
• You’re comfortable talking to strangers and turning curiosity into sales
• You’re physically able to lift 35 lbs and set up market gear on your own
• You have a working smartphone to take credit card transactions (we use Square)
• You can travel to and from the market reliably every week
• The phrase “Take everything seriously, except for yourself” resonates with you

Previous farmers market or food sales experience is a bonus, but not required. We’ll train the right person if you bring great energy and people skills.
