Job Description

Sage is a charming French pastry cafe nestled in the heart of downtown Columbia, Missouri. Our establishment brings the artistry of French pastry and handcrafted drinks to this vibrant college town, offering a unique culinary experience that pairs authentic French techniques with exceptional ingredients. At Sage, we specialize in delicate croissants, expertly crafted drinks, and a variety of pastries that reflect a dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Our team of baristas, bakers, and pastry chefs work collaboratively to ensure every guest's visit is memorable and satisfying, making each moment worth savoring. We pride ourselves on being artisans of food and drink, embracing creativity and hospitality in everything we do.\n\nJoining Sage means becoming part of a community that values exceptional people as the foundation of exceptional food and coffee. We are growing a tight-knit team of passionate artisans who share a love for quality, creativity, and genuine hospitality. Through our commitment to these values, we are bringing a taste of France to Columbia, one beautifully crafted pastry and coffee at a time.\n\nWe are currently seeking a talented Pastry Chef to join our kitchen team. This exciting opportunity invites you to lead the baking of the pastries our guests eagerly anticipate each morning, including croissants, scones, seasonal specials, and much more. As a Pastry Chef at Sage, you will have the creative freedom to master your techniques, contribute innovative ideas, and bring your passion for baking to life in a supportive environment that prioritizes consistency, collaboration, and care. This is a hands-on role focused primarily on production, ideal for someone who wants to contribute meaningfully to a growing cafe brand. While the role is centered on executing the baking tasks beautifully, there is potential for leadership opportunities in the future.
