BAKER

Hiring 5 bakers- full time and part time positions

 The Opportunity

We’re hiring five skilled bakers to help produce fresh, scratch-made pastries and desserts for our growing Bistro and catering operations. We’re looking for dependable, detail-oriented people who work efficiently, follow established recipes, and take pride in beautiful, consistent results. Morning and afternoon positions have different production priorities, but every baker contributes to quality, teamwork, and a well-prepared kitchen.


What You’ll Do

  • Prepare pastries, cakes, cookies, fillings, and desserts from scratch according to in-house recipes and production standards.
  • Follow recipes accurately; measure ingredients, manage baking times, and maintain consistent flavor, appearance, and portion sizes.
  • Organize production to meet daily café needs, catering deadlines, and seasonal demand.
  • Maintain clean, sanitary workstations; label, date, rotate, and store ingredients and finished products properly.
  • Work collaboratively, communicate production needs, and prepare an organized handoff between shifts.


Shift Focus & Scheduling


  • Morning bakers (3–4 openings): Start as early as 3:00 a.m., approximately 4–5 days per week. Open and prepare bakery operations, stock the pastry case before store opening, and produce Bistro desserts such as cheesecakes, tiramisu, sliced cakes, pies, banana pudding, and seasonal specialties.
  • Afternoon bakers (1–2 openings): Schedule to be finalized; anticipated shifts include approximately 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. or 12:00–6:00 p.m. Focus on catering desserts, larger-volume baking, and advance preparation for the morning team, including cookie dough, cake pops, and other components.


What We’re Looking For

  • At least two years of professional baking experience preferred; demonstrated experience producing scratch-made pastries and desserts is important.
  • Ability to follow established recipes with speed, precision, consistency, and excellent attention to detail.
  • Cake finishing or decorating skills are strongly preferred; experience with cheesecakes, layered desserts, pastries, European desserts, and high-volume production is valuable.
  • Reliability, punctuality, strong organizational skills, and the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Flexibility to support changing production demands, especially during holidays and busy catering periods.

Work Environment & Selection Process

This is an active commercial-kitchen role involving extended standing, repetitive preparation tasks, working around ovens and mixers, and routinely handling ingredients and bakery supplies, with or without reasonable accommodation. Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate relevant skills in a paid working interview, consistent with applicable wage requirements.


Why Join Us?

Customers love our food, drinks, and service offered at the Jefferson location. We are excited to grow into the Flowery Branch area. We’re a locally owned and operated European-influenced café and catering team that is committed to scratch-made food, quality products, hospitality, and teamwork. You’ll help create the pastries and desserts our guests enjoy every day and at special events. If this sounds like you, we look forward to meeting you.
