Specialist salesperson in the food trade - Job

The professions at a glance

Specialist food salespeople work in various retail sectors, including butchery, bakery, and confectionery. Their job involves selling and packaging food products and providing expert advice to customers. A specialist food salesperson often has a focus, such as butchery, and can specialize in certain products or services to optimally serve customers. A secondary school diploma is often sufficient to secure an apprenticeship as a specialist food salesperson. A secondary school diploma is not mandatory, so it is sufficient to have completed secondary school. The training includes both practical and theoretical content. The practical aspects are learned in the training company and the theory in the vocational school.

Training as a specialist salesperson in the food trade

Training to become a specialist food retailer usually takes place in a company, where the prospective specialist retailer learns how to present and decorate products attractively. You will also be taught how to sell as a specialist food retailer, how to perfectly present food and beverages, and how to maintain customer contact. So, you don't have to be a sales talent right from the start. But the job description encompasses much more than that. Management, processing orders, checking and assessing goods, and manufacturing products are also pillars of the trade. The training also covers the ingredients and uses of food, and how to cook dishes.

Specialist salesperson in the food trade - job description

In contrast to the bakery trade, which specializes in bread and baked goods, and pastry shop assistants, who focus on pastries and desserts, specialist food shop assistants concentrate specifically on meat and sausage products. They work alongside butchers, meaning that while their workflows are separate, the final results overlap because the finished products are displayed. Specialist food shop assistants cannot be compared to a simple snack bar, as the professions differ in the level of specialized customer service (depending on the butcher shop). In addition, specialist shop assistants also prepare incoming goods and inventory lists and process orders.
