They arrive early, sometimes as early as 3 AM, and take charge of the entire baking process, ensuring that fresh bagels are available to customers each day. This role involves intense dedication to craftsmanship, as a bagel is only as good as the person who bakes it. Bakers use their skills not only to prepare the dough but also to monitor the baking process to maintain consistent quality and freshness. Beyond baking, the role includes stocking and replenishing the bagel wall and pastry case, partaking in sandwich making, taking orders, and supporting the team to provide excellent guest service. This teamwork and attention to detail ensure every product and interaction meets the company’s high standards.

The role offers the opportunity to not just work but grow within the company, learning new skills and rising within the bakery ranks. Bakers are valued team members who help shape the customer’s morning and set a positive tone for their day.

Compensation for this position is competitive, with hourly wages ranging from $14.57 to $21.86 per hour, subject to local minimum wage laws. Additionally, bakers are eligible for cash and credit card tips, which can significantly enhance total earnings. The employment is hourly, and there is a strong emphasis on maintaining reasonable work hours, with no shifts extending past 3 PM. The position also offers paid time off, a 401(k) plan with company match, and access to an Employee Assistance Program providing free therapy, legal advice, financial counseling, and online life coaching focused on stress and anxiety management. These comprehensive benefits contribute to employee satisfaction and retention.
