During the slower times there are lists of essential duties that must be completed including washing dishes, wiping tables and maintaining outdoor areas and surfaces, changing the garbage, sweeping & moping floors, and making sure the bathroom is clean and stocked, as well as restocking all essential items needed to keep the shift running smoothly. Specific duties include: Scooping & serving ice cream products and soft serve, answering the phone and taking orders for ice cream cakes and other novelties. Stocking all ice cream and retail products as needed. Making coffee and espresso drinks, as well as milkshakes and fruit smoothies. Taking inventories and communicating needs and shortages with a supervisor. Handling money and credit card transactions on a POS system. Ability to keep a clean, organized, and sanitary food environment at all times. Completing daily opening and closing essential job lists and, if needed, the ability to safely close and secure the building at the end of the shift.

In 2003, Morton’s Moo began making artisan ice cream, gelato and sorbet in our vintage store in Downeast Maine, the gateway to Acadia National Park. Our super-premium ice cream is hand-crafted in small batches and features classic flavors with a Maine twist, using local ingredients whenever possible. All of our milk and cream comes from Maine and is free of growth hormones. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and be sure to visit us in Ellsworth to find out why the locals always say, "Meet me at The Moo!"
Voted BEST ICE CREAM in Downeast Maine! You can also find Morton's Moo Ice Cream for sale at these Maine stores and restaurants. What our customers say: "Calling this place an 'awesome ice cream store' doesn't do it justice! 'Interplanetary Hub of Fantastic Edible Art' comes closer, but still falls a little short." "A unique and enjoyable experience for kids from 1 to 101!" Stay Upstairs at the Moo Want to be near your favorite ice cream? Rent one of our cozy one- or two-bedroom upstairs apartments. Private entrances, self-catered. Great year-round options for a long weekend or hiking holiday. Where It All Happens We make all our ice cream and other treats at 9 School Street in downtown Ellsworth, just off Main Street. Plenty of free parking! |
