\n What We're Looking For \n
    \n
  • Experience: 2–4 years of professional baking or pastry experience preferred. Café, hotel, or scratch bakery background a plus.
  • \n
  • Skills: Strong understanding of baking techniques, dough handling, finishing work, and kitchen organization.
  • \n
  • Mindset: Entrepreneurial spirit with a passion for building something from the ground up.
  • \n
  • Collaboration: A team player who thrives in a supportive, evolving environment and is excited to grow with us.
