Hiring: Gelato Bike Operator
We’re Lulu's, a local gelato brand serving scoops out of a custom-built mobile bike in downtown Toronto. We don’t have a storefront — just wheels, whimsy, and really good gelato. If you’ve seen us roll by, you know the vibe.
We're looking for someone to take our gelato bike around the city and spread some sweetness. This is a casual, flexible role with real independence — great for students or folks with open schedules.
What you’ll do:
-
Prep the bike (clean, power, stocking gelato, supplies, etc.)
-
Ride the bike to designated neighborhoods/routes (it's electric-assisted)
-
Park and setup (umbrella, cones, cups, etc.)
-
Sell and serve gelato
-
Post updates to our social media (where you're located, fun updates, gelato pics, etc.)
-
Chat with customers and handle payments
-
Pack up and return the bike
-
Unload inventory and supplies and lock up
-
Deal calmly with the unexpected (weather changes, location shifts, permit police, etc.)
-
You will be required to obtain a Food Health & Safety Certificate (paid for by us)
We’re looking for someone who’s:
-
Responsible and reliable — you’ll often work solo
-
Warm, friendly and outgoing — this is a public-facing role
-
Takes initiative and comfortable with social media posting
-
Comfortable outdoors and navigating the city on a large bike
-
Able to handle light physical work (some lifting, biking, etc.)
-
Cool-headed when plans shift (and they sometimes will)
-
Resourceful - a shop on wheels is unpredictable ;)
What to expect:
-
The schedule is super flexible/on-call — some weeks are busy, others are quiet - sometimes we experiment with morning shifts, sometimes sunset hours
-
Shifts may come up with a few hours’ notice
-
No storefront — our bike lives in a shed in a downtown parking lot
-
Although we're always online and available to be reached, you'll often be working solo and navigating unpredictable moments and folks as an outdoor shop
Pay: $18/hr + tips + free gelato mmmm
Location: Downtown Toronto (near Portlands area)
