The film
“In Palestine, the morning starts with dough.”

Thirty-nine seconds, drawn in the world Al Manakeesh already paints itself in: a stone village at dawn, the oven, a dove with an olive sprig, and a boat with a keffiyeh sail that crosses all the way to a Minnesota lake.

A new Al Manakeesh means a new team, built from the first day. We are hiring for a halal-certified Palestinian bakery and cafe opening in the Twin Cities metro, the Minneapolis–St Paul area: Middle Eastern baking from a hot oven, beside a full coffee bar. Cashiers, baristas, bakers, prep cooks, shift leads and dishwashers start here. We are looking for warm, reliable people who care about doing things properly, from the oven to the counter. Experience helps, but it is not required for every role.

Full and part time. Location in the Twin Cities metro, confirmed before interviews start.
