Since 2013, the Peach Cobbler Factory has been devoted to crafting delightful desserts that evoke the feeling of grandma’s kitchen. From slow-baked peach cobblers and creamy banana puddings to cinnamon rolls, cookies, and indulgent shakes — every item is made from scratch with love and the finest ingredients. We’re growing our Boston team and looking for natural leaders who are ready to step up, inspire their teammates, and help us deliver an exceptional guest experience every shift.

The Shift Leader is a key member of the management team, responsible for overseeing daily operations during their assigned shift. You will lead and motivate front of house and back of house team members, ensure product quality and guest satisfaction standards are met, and act as the point of contact in the absence of the Store Manager. This is a hands-on leadership role — you will work alongside your team while keeping the entire operation running smoothly.
