Full-time / Part-time · Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER)
Working at Brammibal's
Brammibal's Donuts is a vegan donut company founded in 2015 by our two CEOs, Jessica and Bram. Today, we run ten locations in Berlin and five in Hamburg, serving our delicious vegan donuts and specialty coffee. Join us and help change the perception of plant-based food - one donut at a time.
Working at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER)
This role is based at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER), one of Europe’s most important transport hubs, where you’ll delight travellers with donuts and specialty coffee in a dynamic, international workplace.
Our airport store operates from early mornings through late evenings, including weekends and public holidays — flexibility with shift work is essential. Opening shifts start as early as 03:30am and closing shifts last until 22:00pm. There’s no classic 9-to-5 here, but in return you’ll experience real variety: flight schedules, rush hours and an international crowd ensure that no two days are the same.
For working at the airport, all team members need to apply for an airport ID badge (Flughafenausweis) and a security clearance according to §7 LuftSiG. Don’t worry — we fully support you throughout the entire process and guide you step by step.
Heads up: This role is for our BER Airport shop, but while all required airport access and security approvals are still in process, you’ll start your journey with us in one of our Berlin city shops. Once everything is fully approved, you’ll move into your role at the airport shop.
All FOH team members should be open and flexible to support across our different shops when needed. We work as one team and support each other where it’s needed most, keeping things running smoothly across all locations.
By the way, getting to Berlin-Brandenburg Airport (BER) from the city is super easy thanks to the new fast train connections:
From Berlin Südkreuz to BER: it takes about 14 minutes on the Airport Express or regional trains, super quick!
From Berlin Ostkreuz to BER: you can reach the airport in roughly ~19–20 minutes on direct regional train services.
