ABOUT KNEADERS
Kneaders Bakery & Cafe began as a small shop in Orem, Utah in 1997 serving traditional, European bread made with three simple ingredients. We have since branched out across multiple states and expanded our menu to include sandwiches, hearty soups, refreshing salads, and dozens of handmade pastries, all made from scratch with honest, whole ingredients. We care about people, and our foundation is built on charity and giving back to our communities. Our bakeries have helped with alleviating hunger, supporting schools, and leading fundraisers for children's hospitals. Every September, our entire company as a whole joins with the Huntsman Cancer Institute to fight childhood cancer.
Our employees are part of the Kneader's family, and because of this, we are closed every Sunday and on Thanksgiving and Christmas. This gives our employees more time to spend with their families and communities. We also provide them generous food and retail discounts. If you are looking for an honest and caring company to be a part of, the Kneader's family is the place to be!
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A HEAD PASTRY CHEF
As a Pastry Chef, you are a critical part of the daily baking and decorating in the kitchen. You work with a small team of 3-4 members daily and make sure all orders are fulfilled. Baking is your passion, and you spend each shift baking over 40 fresh pastries, pies, cakes, and muffins with honest, whole ingredients. You are always sure to help keep the display case well-stocked daily and filled with the beautiful creations you make in the bakery's kitchen.
Your work can be strenuous and involves lifting large amounts of dough, flour, and other supplies that can sometimes weigh more than 50 lbs. But, as someone who enjoys being active, you take it all in stride! Being able to adapt to change is crucial, and you often find yourself juggling multiple tasks and keeping an eye on the oven! This sounds like hard work, but you find it rewarding. If you're as passionate about food quality, customer service, and community as we are, we want to hear from you!
