Amy’s Baking Company to hold job fair

May 18, 2013, 11:23 AM | Updated: 11:25 am

Embattled Amy’s Baking Company Bakery Boutique & Bistro is on the lookout for more help.

The company, which has been embroiled in a firestorm of controversy after lashing out on social media, is looking to hire for 30 positions.

The jobs available include servers, dishwashers, line cooks, bakers, host and hostesses, food runners and bussers.

The bistro came under fire after they appeared on Fox’s “Kitchen Nightmares.” After the show’s airing, several posts with expletives appeared on the restaurant’s Facebook page attacking critics.

Amy’s will now be changing their tipping policy, after getting heat for not adhering to the standard tip-based system. They will now pay $5.00 per hour plus employees will get to keep all their tips. The staff was previously paid $8-$14 an hour.

The job fair will take place on Sunday, May 17 from 2 to 5 p.m.

Amy’s has also scheduled a grand re-opening for Tuesday to try to repair their image after the online firestorm.

We want to hear from you.
