HEAD BAKER
Do you love pastry, breads, baking, and a wonderful sense of community? We do too! Our lovely head baker will not be coming back from maternity leave, and so we find ourselves with an opening for a lead role in our bakery team.
The person in this position will work closely with the owner to lead the bakery team and ensure that items are up to the highest standards. This includes maintaining the FOH bakery case, prepping and baking pastries and breads for the summer Farmers' Market, spearheading the production/packing of our granola for our growing portfolio of wholesale accounts, and managing the creation of desserts for Cellar 65 (our downstairs evening venue).
Gluten free baking experience is a definite plus in this role, as is the ability to organize and coordinate the team and inventory stock. Strong communication skills are a must. You will need at least two years of experience in a commercial or restaurant bakery to be considered for this role.
This is a full-time role with some special evening events and/or weekends. The pay for this position is $24-30/hr (which includes a base pay plus participation in our tip share) as well as the other benefits listed above.

This position participates in our tip share, which adds approx $6/hr to your base pay during slow periods and more during busy times.
