Are you passionate about baking and creating delicious, wholesome meals from

scratch? Do you thrive in a friendly, close-knit environment where every team member is

valued? Our small, family-run cafe is seeking a dedicated Baker/Prep Cook to join our

welcoming team. This is a unique opportunity to bring your culinary skills and creativity

to a place where food is crafted with love, community comes first, and your contributions

make a real difference.

As Baker/Prep Cook, your main duties will include:

? Assisting with food prep for lunch service, including chopping vegetables,

preparing salads, making sandwich fillings, and assembling menu items.

? Ensuring all baked goods and prepared foods meet our high standards of

freshness, presentation, and taste.

? Following established recipes while also suggesting new items and seasonal

specials--your creativity is welcomed!

? Maintaining a clean, organized, and safe kitchen workspace in accordance with

food safety guidelines.

? Monitoring ingredient inventory, communicating shortages or needs, and helping

with orders as necessary.

? Occasionally assisting with customer service during busy periods, always with a

friendly and helpful attitude.

? Collaborating with our small team, pitching in wherever needed, and supporting a

positive, family-style working environment.

The ideal candidate:

? Has previous experience as a baker, prep cook, or in a similar kitchen role but

not required

? Has a genuine passion for baking and cooking and takes pride in their craft.

? Is organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple tasks efficiently.

? Works well independently but also enjoys being part of a supportive team.

? Is adaptable, resourceful, and willing to learn new recipes and techniques.

? Has excellent communication skills, a positive attitude, and a sense of humour.

? Possesses basic knowledge of food safety and sanitation practices.

? Is able to lift up to 20kg and stand for extended periods.

? Experience with specialty diets (e.g., gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian) and the

ability to adapt recipes accordingly.

? Creativity in developing new baked goods or menu items.

? Opportunities for growth within our cafe--whether you want to specialize in

baking, learn more about cooking, or try your hand at front-of-house service.

Throughout the day, you'll rotate between baking, prepping, and cleaning. You'll check

inventory, restock ingredients, and keep the kitchen spotless. When things get busy, you

might step out front to help serve guests, answer questions about baked goods, or

recommend your favourite treat.

We expect all team members to show up on time, bring a positive attitude, and be ready

to work hard--while still having fun. Respect for others, reliability, and a willingness to

pitch in wherever needed are essential.
