Job Summary
.Overview
Tous Les Jours is a French-Asian inspired bakery café with over 110 locations across the United States and 1,700+ worldwide. We bake everything fresh in-store every day — artisan breads, pastries, fresh cream cakes, and handcrafted beverages made with premium ingredients.
We’re looking for a Baker to join our production team. You’ll be responsible for baking the beautiful, fresh-baked breads, pastries, and savory items that fill our display cases before the doors open every morning. This means thawing, shaping, molding, proofing, baking, and finishing — all to the brand’s exact standard. Your job is the finishing process: perfect shapes, proper proofing, correct bake times, and consistent presentation. We’ll train you on TLJ’s specific products. What we can’t teach is reliability, attention to detail, and a genuine pride in producing beautiful work.
Responsibilities
- Execute daily bread and pastry production — prepping dough, shaping, molding, proofing, baking, decorating, and finishing to TLJ standards.
- Maintain consistent quality and presentation across all products, every day.
- Manage production timing so all items are ready before store opening.
- Receive and organize ingredient deliveries using FIFO rotation.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and food-safe work environment at all times.
- Monitor product quality and flag any issues to the Kitchen Manager.
Requirements
- Baking experience preferred but not required — you won’t be making dough from scratch. If you can follow a process precisely and take pride in consistent results, we’ll train you.
- Comfortable with early morning shifts (4:00–5:00am starts). This is non-negotiable.
- Detail-oriented — every croissant, every loaf, every pastry has to meet the standard.
- Reliable and punctual. If you’re not here, the cases don’t get filled.
- Able to stand for long periods, lift 50 lbs, and work in a warm kitchen environment.
- Food Handler certification (or willingness to obtain within 30 days).
Physical Requirements:
- Continuous standing and walking throughout the duration of each shift.
- Bending, lifting and carrying up to 30 pounds to perform duties like stocking, refilling ice or taking out trash.
- Constant face-to-face interactions with crew members and customers.
- Safely navigate in a fast-paced cafe´ environment.
- Ability to multi-task and remain positive in sometimes stressful working conditions.
- Frequent walking, standing, bending, stopping, overhead reaching and stretching.
- Lifting no greater than 50 pounds
Benefits
- Competitive pay based on experience.
- A real skill — learn professional bakery production techniques you’ll carry for life.
- Growth path to Lead Baker or production leadership as the business grows.
- Employee discounts.
- A team that respects the craft and each other.
Every day, we bake with heart.
At Tous les Jours, we believe that great baking is an act of care — for our craft, our community, and the guests who walk through our doors. We're looking for bakers who find meaning in the details: the perfect lamination, the right proofing time, the finishing touch that makes a pastry worth pausing for. If you take pride in what you make and believe that fresh, thoughtfully crafted food can brighten someone's day, you'll feel right at home here.
