Assistant Baker

Red Rooster's Café and Restaurant Group (Café) is a fast paced and detail oriented environment dedicated to serving quality coffee, fine tea, baked goods, and vegetarian offerings for breakfast and lunch to the Floyd community and tourists visiting the area. We are seeking an experienced baker preferably with at least one year of previous experience baking professionally, although home bakers may still apply.

Successful candidates for the job will be responsible for opening the café's Bakery at 5:30 am each morning and baking fresh biscuits, scones, muffins and other treats. They will be responsible for getting these items baked, trayed and displayed in our cafe no later than 7am each morning.  Other responsibilities include production baking items like cookies, bars and cinnamon rolls, and prepping items for the next morning. 

Oftentimes this shift is worked solo. The individual in this position will also work side-by-side with our head baker, creating and preparing our entire baked goods/pastry menu. They will be expected to follow the recipes as written, ensure the quality of the products used is of good standards (fresh, not expired, meets RR's expectations) and communicate effectively when supplies are running low. 

The position advertised here is currently a part-time position with full-time potential expected in the near future. The position is hourly and has starting times from 5:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. (depending on the cafe's needs) Mondays-Saturdays.
