We’re in the business of joy—one scoop at a time. We make super-premium ice cream from scratch, in-house, every day, using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. But we’re more than just ice cream. We’re a community-first, family-built shop rooted in creativity, kindness, and connection. Theda’s is a welcoming, inclusive place for all—and that starts with our team.
 
As a Scooper, you’ll be the heart of our front-of-house experience. You’ll greet guests with a smile, scoop ice cream with precision and care, and help create a space that feels warm, clean, and inviting. You’ll represent everything we stand for: creativity, friendliness, and community pride.

If you’re excited about scooping joy, building community, and being part of something special in Napa—we’d love to meet you.

 
What You’ll Do

  • Greet customers with warmth and genuine enthusiasm

  • Serve ice cream and other menu items accurately and consistently

  • Engage guests in conversations about our flavors and seasonal offerings

  • Maintain a clean and tidy shop—including floors, counters, tables, and bathrooms

  • Restock supplies and monitor inventory needs throughout your shift

  • Operate the register and handle cash and credit card transactions

  • Help prep basic in-house items (like making waffle cones!) as needed

  • Support teammates and contribute to a positive, collaborative work culture

  • Represent Theda’s values of kindness, community, and fun

What We’re Looking For

  • Friendly, kind, and reliable—someone who thrives in a team setting

  • Responsible and punctual

  • Excellent communication and customer service skills

  • Willingness to take initiative and pitch in wherever needed

  • Attention to detail and a commitment to cleanliness and safety

  • Ability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed

  • Previous experience in food service or retail is a plus—but not required

  • Must be comfortable standing for long periods and lifting up to 30 lbs (ice cream can be heavy!)
     

Age Requirement

  • We’re hiring team members ages 15 and up! If you're under 18 and haven’t graduated high school yet, you’ll just need a work permit before your first day. Don’t worry—it’s usually quick and easy to get through your school.

  • We follow all California labor laws for minors, including limits on work hours during the school year.

  • We’re happy to work with students to build schedules that fit around school, sports, and other commitments.
