Baker

Uppercrust, Gainesville’s community artisan bakery since 1981 seeks two bakers!

These position assumes no professional/commercial baking experience, and can be part or full time. You will be trained by kitchen shift leads and managers or trusted team members who work the station daily. The day is scheduled to be 6-9 hours depending on production and prep needs.

The positions are in bistro, pastry prep, and bread. They will depend on our existing team’s cross training interests and yours.

Bistro is responsible for preparing quiches, soups, and spreads for breads. Pastry is responsible for tartelette, cake, macaron and eclair production and prep. Bread is responsible for mixing, proofing, and shaping bread. This is physical work. Determination, hustle, and strength are required for any baker to meet Uppercrust's standards — and for the baker to have a positive experience at work. Bakers must be prepared to:

• Wake up early
• Lift 50 pound flour bags, heavy bins, and stacks of sheet pans
• Work on your feet throughout the day

The following experience is helpful, but not required:

• Experience with knife work
• Experience with commercial prep work
• Experience with clean, organized work flow in a commercial kitchen setting

Far more important is who YOU are. We have trained many superb bakers. A good, consistent work ethic and curious attitude are the qualities that stand out in new and seasoned team members.

Benefits include:

• Free samples of product you haven't tried
• Free daily bread
• Free iced coffee
• Paid training
• Paid breaks
• Raises after assessments on kitchen stations
• Cross training
• Raises for length of time worked (every 3 months full time, 6 months part time)
• Paid time off vests after 250 days worked
• HSA-eligible contributions vest after 150 days worked
• Full time work (35 hours) assured if desired
• Cash tips pooled weekly
• A serious-minded, hard working management team, invested in your and the bakery's success
