Own stock management: monitor premium raw-material inventory, follow up orders and manage deliveries receiving so production never stops.

Manage the morning bake and live counter replenishment.

Keep a clinically clean, impeccably organised kitchen at all times (visible to the public through glass).

Operate professional combi-ovens with precision; strictly respect the brand's trade secrets.

Candidate profile

Pastry diploma (CAP, BTM or equivalent) or equivalent proven experience in pastry.

Mastery of chemically-leavened and whipped batters; recognised for consistency and attention to detail.
