Budtender - Plainz Strains of Peetz

New Store Opening!

High Plainz Strains | 719 Main Street, Peetz, CO
Full-Time | $15.16/hour + tips
Generally 30–40 hours per week | 4–5 shifts
High Plainz Strains is hiring full-time Bud tenders for our new dispensary in Peetz, Colorado!

This is a new store, which makes this position a little different from joining one of our established locations.

The first employees at Peetz will help establish how the store operates day to day, how customers experience the business and the habits that future employees will eventually learn from.

We're looking for people who are dependable, comfortable working with customers and interested in learning the products and systems well enough to become genuinely good at the job.

Previous cannabis experience is helpful, but it isn't required.

Experience in retail, restaurants, grocery stores, convenience stores, fuel stations, hospitality, banking, agricultural businesses or other customer-facing work can translate very well to this position.

We can teach cannabis product knowledge.

Reliability, communication, judgment and the willingness to learn are harder to teach.

Budtending is a combination of customer service, product knowledge and responsible retail sales.

Responsibilities include:

• Greeting customers and learning what they're looking for
• Asking useful questions to understand what a customer actually wants
• Explaining cannabis products and product categories clearly
• Helping customers compare products and make informed purchasing decisions
• Learning our flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, edibles, vapes, topicals and other product offerings
• Developing familiarity with the brands and products carried by the store
• Learning current promotions and loyalty programs
• Operating the point-of-sale system accurately
• Handling cash with accuracy and integrity
• Checking products and orders before completing transactions
• Helping process online and pickup orders
• Stocking and organizing products
• Maintaining an accurate, clean and organized sales floor
• Following company procedures and Colorado cannabis regulations
• Communicating with Front Desk, other Bud tenders and store leadership
• Helping maintain efficient customer flow during busy periods
• Using slower periods for stocking, cleaning, organization, product learning and other store responsibilities
• Recognizing when you don't know an answer and finding accurate information rather than guessing

Good budtending isn't about knowing the most cannabis trivia.

It's about listening to customers, understanding the products well enough to explain them clearly and helping people make purchasing decisions without making the interaction more complicated than it needs to be.

Some customers will know exactly what they want.

Others may be entering a dispensary for the first time.

A strong Budtender learns how to serve both.

Peetz is a new High Plainz Strains location.

That means our opening team has an unusual opportunity to help establish the store from the beginning.

There won't be years of existing store habits for a new employee to simply inherit.

Our opening employees will be learning the operation together, establishing routines, getting to know the local customer base and helping determine what good day-to-day execution looks like at this location.

That makes reliability particularly important.

We're looking for people who show up when scheduled, communicate when there's a problem, learn procedures, accept feedback and contribute to keeping the store organized.

Opening a new location also means there may be adjustments as we learn actual customer traffic patterns and determine what works best for the store.

Employees who are comfortable learning and adapting will have an advantage.

Peetz is a small…
