Hiring a Business Manager | Proof Bread 

I feel so invested in a company that is so far away, I hope nothing but the best for Proof and it's branches, as well as finding the right person for the job. Much love from Montreal.

~ a wonderful way to hire ~ and a fabulous opportunity for someone to live their personal foodie dreams

Your Business are amazing go Proof

This is awesome! I love that you are helping out your community this way!

Congrats dude!!! Super happy for you and family! I'm falowing since you were in your home business base time! Best for you , wishing the best for you seriously!

I’ve been binge watching the past years worth of videos and I am rooting for your success!

Your store looks amazing. Love that you support local artisans and growers!

Best wishes for finding a perfect person to help bring this dream to fruition.

You need to create your business under a Private Members Association. Government is at war with small producers. Look into Joel Salatin's long standing battle with regulatory "authorities" in the food industry.

I really dig what you have going on there. I hope you succeed!!

You are a nice addition to downtown Mesa, Az. Thanks for staying local.

One reason I live outside the United States, is because I like living in a place where I know my vegetables came out of a garden that morning and that a relative of the person that pulled them out of that garden is selling me the produce. I’m glad to see you were trying to get this sort of food supply chain to your local community. Keep up the good work.

First YT recruiting video I’ve seen. I’m sure there are others out there. Hopefully you’ll find the right person, Jon.

If I wasn't in North East TX. I would LOVE this job. I do everything and planning is like a habit since homeschooling is my passion. Praying for yall

We love what you guys are doing!💜

Proof keep on keeping on! The next time I drive up from RosaRito MX. I'll stop in @ the new store and purchase some items, local and non Corporate is good in my eyes. Oh yes and stop to pick up some breads :) BTW I like my long sleeve shirt.

Wow! Lots of interesting things to do! Hoping you get a magnificent Person to volt your endeavors!! 😉

I'm with @DANK on this. I'm all the way in the UK and I'm more emotionally invested in Proof and Co than anything nearby.

This would be such a great opportunity for me - I have a background in food and beverage, service and culinary, and have a business background. The only thing I wouldnt like is living in Arizona. I cant stand the open oven they live in and have going from May to September. In response to your space downstairs - learning/teaching/show kitchen to host classes so learn also how to make other dishes than Tex/Mex/Southwest cuisine. You can incorporate a cultural aspect of the community by teaching other dishes that are known the world over, and yes, some SW kitchen too. Teach pastry and bread making, learn international breads - Challah, baguette, rye-bread, pita, whole grain, Indian naan bread (you need a hella hot over for this so AZ would be the place to make naan. Highlight Arizona/New Mexico wine in a cellar space down there (the north-eastern part of the basement if possible to stay naturally cool) Start a wine club too. Cheese making classes? Marinating meets. How to cook with fish. Dietary instruction classes - how to eat healthier and better. I would enjoy this but not in this market. Wish you nothing but success.

You're generating such a great resource for your community!! Watching the video I see a lot of wall space. Have you considered reaching out to photographers and or metal art as well as others that could sell art works there as well?

@Proof Bread... Your informative video presentations are greatly appreciated... love your work ethic, your ability to teach, and your love for baking. Question: What are the dimensions (measurements) (LxW) for your new bakery? Thank you.

💙💜💙 This would be my dream job!

I wish you’d sell that shirt in your merch shop!! (The one you’re wearing)

I love bread

Can you please make a video how to make gluten-free bread I would love to learn you’re such a great teacher

Could you list a ballpark salary or hourly wage for this position, and hours and days expected to work? That will help potential applicants know if the position will work for them. Thank you!

Seems there is enough room in the back to start a...Back Room Café...coffees (not from Arizona, clearly)...omelettes, wedges of Proof country bread with locally produced butter and goat cheese, and "brunch" type foods. Just day'n....

Hi Jon, Would you ever try to hire a manager of Proof and step out? Is that a plan in your future?

Hippy business mind is what they want good luck and all the love

👍👍👍👍👍

👏👏👏🍞🍞🍞

I like your broad search for a business manager, WE HAVE BEEN WAIT PROOF STORE VIEW. What the price of your organic eggs?

He needs somebody good in math somebody willing to research how long a product is good on the Shelf and keep track of every item in the store coming and going lol

Are you shipping out of state? I’m in SC.

Let's Bring a sandwich shop up Front, Good Luck

I suddenly have the urge to move and start a new life.....

You have done a ridiculous amount in the past year. Keep finding the balance of hard work and self care (owned a business for 25 years and let it wear me out(

Best of luck finding what you are seeking for 46k per year.

Just so pleased and amazed at your success. To think how distraught and saddened you all were and how much fear swept through your business when you had to move from your original location. Only in America, in this beautiful charitable capitalist society, does adversity lead to the taking of personal risk that most assuredly through hard work, leads to greater success and not inevitably to government dependence. It is not possible for these businesses to come to inception or flourish in a socialist society. God bless America!

Can't you promote from within?

Good luck on your search. You guys make me tired just looking at all you do.

I guess I'll be the one to point out that more women are finding that deep soulful and spiritual connection in raising children again, after decades of indoctrinating women to the fallacy that the workplace away from home, is more important than home and the raising of family, and that a man is naturally set up as much as a woman to raise children. There's a reason why nature is set up for men to be the workers outside the home, and women to be the nurturers and family engineers; performing the hardest and most important job on the planet- raising children. Respecting nature rids us of the drudgery of finding essential employees every time an employee pregnancy occurs. Business is not set up for maternity. It's set up for men. Unfortunately it's also not set up to survive off one income, as much as business is not set up to gain employees if the government's paying men more NOT to work. And yes of course women can do all these roles efficiently and proficiently and professionally and well, but that's not nature, unless she's creating a home based business where the children can be involved and she's not taken away from that most important position. As long as we go against nature with economies not set up to survive off one income, there will be struggles and compromises in business that have businesses suffering. I realize my comments will garner hate from the liberal minded and those intolerant of biology and nature, but we all know it's truth. Here's to many decades of great successes!

It's interesting to see you talk about all this good business practice, yet you're offering your employees less than 15$ an hour for every single job position. You're not interested in showing people what real food is like, you're only interested in money.

Had several thoughts I wanted to share (and BTW, I'm not a candidate)... 1) what does success look like? Is it making a profit for the grocery or is it building the local farm-to-market offerings? And it can't be both... 2) You show off a lot of very interesting products, but unless you have a social media or mailing list marketing effort, you're reliant on walk-ins to discover what you have. 3) If you've seen a Trader Joes flyer, you know that they offer unique products, but their flyer features the interesting backstories for many of their products, helping to explain WHY it's so good. So, if you don't already have it (and I don't recall you ever mentioning it in all of the videos I've watched), you should consider a TJ-styled flyer (or email distribution, or big-time social media presence) that helps people understand what they will find if they visit your grocery, and just as important, WHY they should buy your products there. I feel like if you do that, then your manager will truly be able to focus on the business management and curation of local sources, and not have to focus so much on the sales... Again, you obviously want to make money...the feel-good aspect is important but has to be achieved in concert with being profitable. IMHO
