PASTRY (8am - 4:30pm): You're a pastry cook with an eye for detail and an appreciation for good technique. This role includes mixing, laminating and shaping pastries in addition to producing all components from scratch for tartlets, cookies and entremets.

The role includes taking and packaging orders, using the cash register and bussing tables.
BARISTA (7:15am - 3:45pm): Coffee is deeply personal and you're often the first interaction in someone's day. You take equal pride in pulling an impeccable espresso shot as you do in making customers their perfect drink. You work cleanly and efficiently and can handle the morning rush without breaking a sweat. This role includes producing espresso and tea drinks, keeping the station well-stocked and prepping components according to set recipes, all while giving excellent customer service.
Do you consider your organization to be an equitable place to work? (Why or why not?) What supports are in place for your employees?: As a women-led company, this is essential. We strive to achieve this by:
• making PTO accessible to all staff
• sharing tips equally among all hourly staff to prevent the FOH/BOH divide
• scheduling regular staff reviews to give and receive feedback with management
• not requiring experience or resumes when not absolutely needed, opening the door to a wider applicant pool
