Career
Baker
An inspired designer and gourmet, the Baker is an artist and expert. His or her main concern: the freshly baked pastries in the breakfast room in the morning and a range of quality breads for the gustatory pleasure of his or her customers at all times.
His or her creations, pastries, and breads accompany all customers’ meals from breakfast to dinner and the quality of his or her products, as well as the aesthetics of his or her presentations, are the skills that set him or her apart from others.
As the head of the bakery, he or she recruits, trains, and directs his or her team and also decides on the products he or she wishes to serve while supervising the purchase of raw materials. He or she very often works independently with his or her own team but may rely on the Pastry Chef or collaborate with the Restaurant Manager and the Chef to offer products adapted to the customers and menus being served.
