Elevate the Sweet Side of Dining — Executive Pastry Chef Needed
Do you wake up thinking in puff pastry and perfect mousse? We’re hiring an Pastry Sous Chef to lead our pastry kitchen for a bustling, high‑volume — a place where creativity meets consistency, and where dessert isn’t just the finale, it’s the headline. If you succeed on turning flour, sugar and butter into show‑stopping treats that delight guests day after day, this could be your next home.
What you’ll be doing
• Oversee the production of all bakery & pastry goods — from breads, cakes, cookies and brownies to delicate tarts, puddings & specialty desserts.
• Create and refine scratch-made dessert recipes optimized for high-volume service while maintaining consistent quality and presentation.
• lead & lead the pastry team: schedule staff, supervise production, train associates, and maintain accountability for labor and food costs.
• Control inventory, order ingredients, and oversee cost of goods sold to align with budget and performance goals.
• Ensure a clean, safe, organized and efficient pastry kitchen that consistently meets food safety and company standards.
• Foster a positive, collaborative work atmosphere where teammates are supported, developed, and held to high standards of quality & service.
Experience & Skills You Bring
• 5+ years of hands-on pastry/bakery experience across all phases of baking — preferably in a high-profile restaurant, hotel, resort, or upscale market setting.
• Formal pastry training (technical school or certified apprenticeship) strongly advantageous.
• Demonstrated ability to train and lead a team, lead labor and food costs, and deliver results under pressure.
• solid organizational skills with a results-oriented mindset — you set department goals & execute them.
• Creative flair: ability to conceptualize & execute innovative dessert offerings that stand out.
• exceptional communication and interpersonal skills; ability to interact professionally with teammates and uphold a positive kitchen culture.
• Analytical and problem-solving skills — you can spot issues, adjust quickly, and keep quality high.
Why This Role Is A Sweet chance
Join a well-loved gourmet market & bakery brand that prides itself on chef-crafted meals, from-scratch breads and pastries, a wide collection of recipes, and a vibrant, energetic “market-meets-bistro” atmosphere. The bakery is at the heart of the operation — you’ll be shaping the desserts that keep regulars coming back & making new fans every day. With competitive manager-level pay, full medical/dental/vision benefits, life and disability insurance, 401(k) retirement, paid time off, and generous staff discounts — this is a stable, rewarding career move. Plus, you’ll be part of a team that values quality, creativity, respect, and growth opportunities.
