Internship Description: Please describe the overall project scope and the intern’s responsibilities.
Join Lēto Foods founder in the kitchen on Mondays from 8:30-4:30 for full exposure to
launching a Direct-to-Consumer company. Each Monday we ship our customer orders
(build boxes, fill boxes with smoothies & dry ice), and then produce our smoothie
pouches in the afternoon. Most of our ingredients arrive cut/frozen, but there is some
light ingredient prep required. At the end of the day we do clean up. We work on an
enthusiastic 3-person team!
Internship Objectives: Internships should enhance the intern’s skills and experiences, and should
also provide interns with a broader view of the business and company. What
are the specific skills the intern will obtain from this opportunity?
The intern would learn how to refine production processes, gain exposure to a
commercial kitchen, and learn about direct-to-consumer shipping!
Required Skills: Please include any functional, technical, interpersonal, or software skills.
The intern must be over the age of 18, have their ServSafe Food Handler
Certificate, be willing to learn (we are a small but growing company!), and
ideally be willing/able to learn how to use our software (Shopify orders,
FedEx.com, label printing).
The intern should be detail oriented – most of the work is measuring each
ingredient and putting it into a pouch; most of our ingredients arrive prepped,
but not all.
Additional Requirements: Please include any additional requirements an intern must have, such as a
4hr stage, a valid driver’s license, access to a car, be willing to travel, slip
resistant shoes, etc.
Ability to get to/from The Hatchery, slip resistant shoes, computer for the
optional Saturdays shipping component.
Compensation: Through ICNC/The Hatchery’s PepsiCo Grant, interns are allowed to work a
maximum of 80 hours at $13.50/hour for a total of $1,080 – this cost is
covered and paid for by this grant.
Interns will submit their time sheet on a biweekly schedule and their internship stipend
will also be given to them on a biweekly schedule. Interns are considered independent
contractors and they will need to complete a W9 Form; please note, no taxes are taken
out of your stipend check.
