  • Knowledge of vegan and plant-based ingredients is a plus

In This Role, You Will:

• Produce baked goods including scones, pies, cookies, cinnamon rolls, danishes, croissants, frittatas, quiches, cakes, breakfast sandwiches, and more

• Follow daily production lists to meet bakery pars and fulfill orders

• Operate commercial equipment including a 30qt Hobart mixer and gas ovens

• Must be able to understand and follow written recipes and production notes as provided

• Assist with inventory counts and contribute to overall kitchen efficiency

Additional Responsibilities:

• Wash dishes, sweep and mop, manage trash/recycling/compost

• Close and secure the kitchen, set the alarm, and prepare the space for the next shift

• Follow the kitchen dress code, including non-slip closed-toe shoes, apron, and hair covering

• Use an app-based scheduling platform for shift and communication updates

• Exercise sound judgment, problem-solve independently, and anticipate future production needs
