Baker - Overnight or Early-Morning

You love the quiet early hours, the part of the day that belongs to the baker. The oven coming up to temp, the smell of the first bake, the craft of getting it right before anyone else walks in. That is the heart of this role, and at Maricel's Kitchen it actually matters, because what you make is the first thing our guests taste at brunch.

We are a Filipino and Asian heritage restaurant, and we are looking for an experienced baker to help us continue to expand our bakery program: the breads, cakes, and pastries that go out for our brunch service. You will run the early prep, keep quality consistent bake after bake, and take real pride in your station. I learned to cook in my Lola's kitchen in Manila and in the fine-dining rooms of New York, and I care about the small things, because the small things are everything. I want a baker who feels the same way. You will report to our Sous Chef / Pastry Chef and deliver on her program.

What you'll do

• Bake our breads, cakes, and pastries fresh for brunch service
  
• Own the overnight and early-morning prep from start to clean finish
  
• Hold quality and consistency every single day
  
• Keep your station and the kitchen spotless
  

What we're looking for

• Prior professional baking experience. This is a must.
  
• Legal authorization to work in the United States. This is a must.
  
• Someone reliable who thrives on the early schedule and works clean
  
• Filipino or Asian baking a strong plus. If you know your way around ensaymada or pandesal, even better. We can teach you our recipes, but we need the hands and the discipline already there.
  

Schedule: 2-3 days a week, overnight or early morning, so breads and pastries are fresh when brunch opens.
