Join Our Holiday Crew at Ditalia!

Good food. Great people. A little holiday madness.

The holidays are our favorite kind of crazy at Ditalia. Our warehouse fills with the aromas of Italian coffee, the sounds of holiday music, and a hardworking crew packing some of Italy's finest foods and gifts for customers across America.

From Prosciutto di Parma and Parmigiano Reggiano to artisan pasta, sauces, olive oils, panettone, and beautifully curated Italian gift boxes, we're sharing a little taste of Italy, one package at a time.

And we could use a few more hands! We're looking for enthusiastic people to join our seasonal warehouse and fulfillment team, along with a part-time local delivery driver serving our restaurant and retail customers throughout the St. Louis area.

Whether this is your first job, a way to earn extra holiday money, or an opportunity that might turn into something more permanent, we'd love to meet you.

No experience necessary. Just bring a good attitude, a willingness to work, and an appetite for a little Italian hospitality.

Here's something we're particularly proud of: many of the people who work at Ditalia today got their start as members of our holiday crew.

The Jobs

Holiday Warehouse & Fulfillment Crew

There's never a dull moment around here during the holidays. Depending on the day, you might find yourself:

• Picking orders: Finding Italian specialties throughout our warehouse and bringing them to our packing stations.

• Packing orders: Carefully wrapping and packaging products so they arrive safely and beautifully.

• Checking orders: Making sure every item is correct and every package meets our standards.

• Building gift boxes and baskets: Assembling holiday gifts that people across the country will be excited to receive.

• Helping wherever needed: Jumping in with your teammates to keep everything moving.

We'll teach you everything you need to know. You just need to be ready to learn and pitch in.

Part-Time Local Delivery Driver

We also have an opportunity for a part-time driver to deliver Italian specialty foods to our restaurant and retail customers throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area.

You'll help represent Ditalia on the road, making deliveries and providing the friendly, dependable service our customers have come to expect.

Additional details regarding driving requirements, schedules, and compensation will be provided during the application process.

The Pay & Perks

Warehouse starting pay: $17.50 per hour

Plus, a performance-based bonus at the end of the holiday season.

And because we believe hard work deserves a few good extras:

• Paid training: Learn the ropes while getting paid.

• Paid breaks: Yes, your breaks are on us.

• Unlimited freshly brewed Sicilian espresso: A little caffeine goes a long way in December.

• Friends and family discounts: Special pricing on nearly everything we sell.

• Ditalia swag: A few goodies to take home.

• Team lunches: Occasional family-style lunches throughout the season.

• Potential year-round opportunities: Some seasonal positions may become permanent after the holidays.

When & Where Will I Work?

Location: Ditalia, 1401 South Boyle Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63110, in The Grove neighborhood.

Seasonal employment: Early November through approximately December 30.

November Schedule

We're looking for team members who can work at least three days per week, Monday through Friday.

Shifts generally range from four to eight hours, beginning as early as 8:00 AM and ending around 5:00 PM.

December Schedule

December is when things really get rolling!

Our fulfillment operation runs six or seven days per week during the busiest part of the holiday season. We ask that seasonal team members be available for at least three shifts per week, including the week leading up to Christmas.

If you're looking for more hours, that's great too. Full-time schedules and overtime opportunities may be available as business needs allow.

The more flexibility you have in December, the better!

Do I Need Experience?

Not at all.

Some of our best team members started here without any warehouse experience. We're happy to train people who are dependable, enthusiastic, and willing to learn.

For warehouse positions, you'll need to be able to:

• Stand and move around for much of your shift.

• Bend, reach, and lift packages weighing approximately 20–50 pounds, with reasonable accommodations where applicable.

• Follow packing instructions and safety procedures.

• Communicate effectively with your teammates.

• Work at least three shifts per week through the busy holiday season.

What Makes Someone a Great Fit?

We're not looking for perfection. We're looking for good people.

You'll probably enjoy working here if:

• You show up when you say you will. Your teammates count on you.

• You take pride in the little details. A beautifully packed box matters.

• You don't mind repetition. Sometimes packing the 100th order requires the same care as the first.

• You're open to feedback. You learn, adjust, and keep moving.

• You bring positive energy. A sense of humor is especially appreciated in December.

• You're kind. To your teammates, our customers, and everyone in between.

And if you happen to love Italian food, we'll have plenty to talk about.

Could This Become a Permanent Job?

Possibly!

We continue to grow, and many of our longtime team members originally joined us for the holidays.

After the season, we evaluate our staffing needs and may offer year-round part-time or full-time positions to seasonal team members who are a great fit.

There are no guarantees, but there is certainly opportunity.

How Does the Hiring Process Work?

We keep things simple.

Step 1: Apply below. Tell us a little about yourself, your availability, and which position interests you.

Step 2: We'll get in touch. If your availability matches our needs, we'll invite you to visit our warehouse, meet the team, and complete the necessary hiring steps.

Step 3: Get started. Once everything is completed, we'll schedule your first paid shift. We aim to get new team members started within about a week whenever possible.

No complicated interview process. No endless hoops to jump through.

Just good people ready to do good work.
