Lucy's is looking for a full-time Baker to join our small, growing bakery team. This is a hands-on, from-scratch production baking position producing breads, pastries and desserts for Lucy's as well as other Essence Hospitality Group restaurants and local wholesale accounts.

If you have solid kitchen experience, an eye for detail and an aptitude for baking, we’re willing to train. Baking experience is preferred but not required.

The Schedule

This is a Sunday-Thursday, morning position with approximately 8-hour shifts.

• Monday-Thursday: 4:30 a.m. start
• Sunday: 5:30 a.m. start
• Consistent hours with some flexibility based on production needs
• No nights

The early-morning start time is an essential part of this position and is non-negotiable. May require driving the company van and deliver bakery products to our local accounts.

What You'll Be Making

Our bakery produces a wide variety of from-scratch products, including:

• Breads
• Pastries and laminated pastries
• Cookies
• Donuts, including frying and decorating
• Cakes
• Plated dessert components
• Retail baked goods for Lucy's storefront
• Baked goods for EHG restaurants and wholesale accounts, including local coffee shops and hospital accounts

What We're Looking For

• Previous kitchen experience required
• Baking experience preferred, but we will train the right person with a strong aptitude for baking
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
• Ability to accurately scale ingredients and follow formulas
• Basic math skills
• Clean, organized work habits
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively as part of a small team
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced production environment
• Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs.
• Dependability, particularly with early-morning start times

Cake decorating experience is welcome, but this is not a cake-decorating position.

Why Lucy's?

This is an opportunity to be part of a growing from-scratch bakery operation with a small team and room to develop your skills. The position offers consistent morning hours, no night shifts, opportunities for creativity, and the chance to work with a broad range of breads, pastries and desserts.
