What are the responsibilities and job description for the Production Baker position at Violet Crumb?
We’re a scratch-made, small-batch bakery. Donuts are our specialty and our pastry menu is growing. Everything is made by hand. Details matter. This is not a high-volume kitchen.
Our recipes and systems are strong and still evolving. You’ll be stepping into a kitchen that cares about doing things right and getting better every week.
THE ROLE
Part-time, 12 to 20 hours per week with room to grow Pay: $18 to $22 per hour to start, with growth as you take on more
