WE’RE NOT HERE TO BABYSIT
We need a baker who actually knows what they’re doing and is ready to show up every day and work hard. No excuses. No slackers. We want someone who understands that baking isn’t just a job—it’s a craft, a passion, and a grind.
What You Need:Real Experience: You should be more than just “familiar” with dough. You need to know your craft inside and out—artisan bread, pastries, cakes, pies and more. If you can’t prove your experience, don’t waste your time or ours.
Reliability: Being on time every day isn’t a suggestion—it’s a requirement. No late arrivals, no half-effort. We need someone who shows up and gives 100%.
Work Ethic: This is a tough job. If you're not ready to put in the hours, sweat, and hustle to make perfect products, don't apply.Team Player: We’re a team. You need to be able to work under pressure, handle stress, and contribute to a high-performance environment.
Positive Attitude: Yes, baking is hard. But complaining, cutting corners, or just going through the motions doesn’t cut it here.
What You Get:Competitive Salary: $70,000/year (Hourly rate) with extras.
Time Off: 3 weeks over Christmas. Work hard, then take your break.
Set Schedule: We don’t do unpredictable hours. You’ll work 40-45 hours a week, and it’s all planned out.
Great Ingredients: We use the best, so you can bake the best.
A Real Supportive Environment: No micromanaging, no drama—just a team that values craftsmanship and dedication. If you show up, do the work, and stay committed, you’ll have everything you need to succeed.
Why Work With Us?We’re serious about quality, and we’re serious about our people. If you’re looking for a cushy, low-effort job, keep looking. But if you’re ready to put your skills to work, make an impact, and be part of a team that expects nothing less than the best—then we want you.
We’re here to create the best bakery in town. If you’re in, we’re ready to talk.
