Baker
Voted INDY Week’s “Best Bagel of the Triangle” in 2022, 2023 we are excited to add another Baker to our Bake & Production Team to bake hot, fresh New York-style bagels every day! You are passionate about learning, and excited to work with yeasted and living products. You try to make each dough you mix, bagel you shape, and stick you flip even better than the last. You enjoy the rush of the Saturday bake, trying to figure out exactly when to bake which bagels to give our customers the freshest bagels possible. You thrive on a Team and always try to make your days more efficient so you can bake even more fun goodies!

• Must love doughs
• I care for the people on my Team
• I set my Team up for success
• I take pride in the work I do
• I communicate to improve
• I am hungry to learn

As a Baker, you can count on ME to:

• Own the Bake! I do this by knowing how to boil and bake different dough to perfection AND when to bake which products to meet customer demand
• Know the Dough! I am hungry to understand dough as a living product so I can choose the baking and production techniques that will result in the best product each day
• Take charge of all bake related catering by ensuring bagels are sliced and in-place at the right time and all other baked goods are bagged and sealed for the next day
• Effectively manage my time to execute the day’s bake and production responsibilities in addition to side work, prepping catering, and cleaning the bakery
• Pay it forward to my Teammates by looking at the week ahead, starting tasks NOW that will set the whole Team up for success later in the week, and creating capacity for increasing demand throughout the week

If this sounds like the Baker you are and work that is worth doing, then come join the fun!
