We are looking for a full-time, long term Expo to join our team! Poppy is a cafe with a small market in Burlington’s Old North End. Originally conceptualized as a sit down restaurant, we transitioned our business plan as the pandemic started. We were able to create a model that could adhere to restrictions. We decided to go with sandwiches because it was easy take-out, required a limited staff and allowed us an opportunity for creativity. Turns out, it was exactly what everyone was craving. Now, Poppy is a gathering space for the neighborhood, a go-to spot for a quality lunch, a resource and partner for community groups, and a space where people feel at home. Subject to seasonal change, Poppy offers a small menu of unique and creative options. Ultimately, we want to push the boundary of what a sandwich can be.

A little about us: Poppy would not be what it is without the incredible people who work here. Making sure the team is supported and well compensated is a priority. Work life balance is extremely important to us which is why we are closed on weekends and focus solely on lunch (Tuesday-Friday). In addition to weekends off, we are periodically closed for stretches of times; sometimes it is all of January, other times it is one to two week stretches spread throughout the year depending on the team's needs and preferences. Almost all decisions at Poppy are made collaboratively as this is an important part of our culture here. You can find more general info about us on our website: https://www.poppyvt.com/
