Hut 55 is seeking an enthusiastic and hard working baker to join our busy seaside cafe. In this varied role, you will be managing the day to day operations of our kitchen, making our signature cakes, savoury pastries, sausage rolls and doing the daily food prep for the cafe including making sandwiches and salads. We also run a wide range of private events throughout the year from parties to beach picnics, so there is always something new to be working on.
As the kitchen supervisor, you will also oversee the ordering and stock management for the kitchen, working closely with the cafe manager and owner to ensure seamless operations between the cafe and kitchen arms of the business. You must be scrupulously clean and tidy, adhere to health & safety standards, and have an eye for detail and accuracy.
Hut 55 is a busy and fast paced cafe and we are looking for someone creative and dedicated who can help us grow in the next year.
Skills
* Previous experience in a kitchen or cafe is preferred, but not essential.
* Basic culinary skills with an understanding of baking techniques (you can be a skilled home cook - training will be given)
* Strong attention to detail and organisational skills, and a good eye for presentation.
* Capability to follow instructions accurately and work under pressure during busy periods - must be a skilled multi-tasker.
* A genuine passion for baking and food preparation.
* A desire to produce consistent, high quality food.
Responsibilities
* Maintain cleanliness and organisation of the kitchen, adhering to food safety standards.
* Manage stock ordering and food in the kitchen
* Follow recipes accurately to ensure consistency in taste and presentation.
* You will often be working alone in the kitchen, so must be a self-starter and motivated.
* A driving licence and own car is a plus.
Shifts start at 7am and weekend work is expected (not every weekend - but it is the nature of hospitality). The role is year round, not seasonal. Please note that the role is based at our kitchen unit in Deal and not at the cafe itself.
