Job Details

ARSICAULT Bakery

Arsicault opened in the Richmond district of San Francisco in April of 2015. It was driven by the crazy dream of the owner to restart the bakery that his great-grandparents opened in a little town called Corbeil-Essonnes near Paris more than 100 years ago. Since that day of April 2015, many have joined the dream and you will be joining a fantastic team.

Our breakfast pastries are now known and recognized around the Bay Area and beyond.  In 2020, we opened our second location and added breads to our menu. We are now getting ready to open our third location at Mission Rock in San Francisco. Our bread production will increase AND diversify. We would like you to join us for the ride!

We are looking for two bread bakers to help develop our current team of one. Different levels of experience will be considered. The candidates with more experience will show high skill levels in the preparation, mixing, maturation, shaping and baking of baguettes as well as naturally leavened breads. They will also have excellent communication skills in order to train and share their knowledge with the rest of the team. The more junior candidates will show a strong desire to learn and develop with the company. The positions will be awarded to individuals who are eager to display and develop their bread making skills AND are also team players ready to assist with and learn about the rest of the operation at Arsicault.

For this to happen, you must show the following:

• Profoundly care about quality.
• Be organized and able to alternate between different products.
• Be driven by objectivity. When it isn’t right, it isn’t, and let’s find a solution. When it IS right, enjoy the moment and be grateful to those who helped you, including yourself!
• Be systematic and disciplined. Be able to follow a tight schedule.
• Be mindful of the difference between improving productivity and cutting corners. One is great, the other is not what we do at Arsicault.
• Know you or way around commercial bakery equipment.

Both positions are full time hourly (with tips), with the possibility of being salaried down the road.  Work starts at 4:30 am and you will have a schedule of 5 consecutive work days with two consecutive days off.  We are open 7 days a week and your schedule will include at least one weekend day.

You will report to our kitchen manager.
