About the Role
This position is dedicated to creating an outstanding customer experience through exceptional service. The primary goal is to establish and maintain a safe, clean environment that encourages customers to return. You will play a key role in assisting the department manager in reaching sales and profit goals while monitoring all established quality assurance standards.

You will foster an atmosphere of trust and respect among associates, ensuring customers feel welcome, important, and appreciated.
Day in the Life
As a member of the bakery team, you will be the face of the department, answering questions about products sold within the bakery and throughout the store. Your day involves preparing bakery items per customer requests using proper equipment, offering product samples to help customers discover new items, and informing them of bakery specials.
You will ensure customers receive fresh products in the correct portion sizes to prevent shrinkage, recommending items to ensure they get exactly what they want and need. A significant portion of your time will be spent measuring, preparing, and mixing ingredients according to recipes, as well as decorating cakes, pastries, cupcakes, and cookies. You will also be responsible for labeling, stocking, and inventorying department merchandise, checking product quality, and reviewing "sell-by" dates.
Safety and compliance are central to your daily routine. You will adhere to all food safety regulations, maintain proper temperatures in cases and coolers, and keep accurate temperature logs. You will also practice preventive maintenance by inspecting equipment and reporting any items needing repair or any safety risks, accidents, or illegal activities to management.
