- Assist in training and coaching new joiners on SOP compliance.
- Help prepare or adjust the team schedule and step in to cover shifts when manning is short.
- Act as kitchen-in-charge and take over the Chief Baker's core responsibilities when the Chief Baker is on leave or unavailable.
- Relay assignments and updates between the Chief Baker, outlet manager, and team; respond to instructions promptly.
- Remain fully hands-on in production alongside Bakers and Junior Bakers.
