Job Description
Holbrook House is a vibrant bar and lounge located in the heart of San Francisco's Financial District, designed as a "club without a membership." This establishment prides itself on offering a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where guests can enjoy a unique dining and drinking experience. At Holbrook House, the focus is on a chef-driven food program that blends seasonal California ingredients with globally inspired flavors, complemented by a thoughtfully curated beverage list featuring craft cocktails, local wines, and select spirits. The venue is well-known for its dynamic yet relaxed ambiance, making it a preferred destination for professionals and visitors alike.
The team at Holbrook House is deeply committed to delivering warm and memorable hospitality, ensuring that every guest feels valued and well taken care of. As part of its mission, the company fosters a collaborative and energetic workplace culture that champions teamwork, innovation, and professional growth. This environment not only benefits the guests but also enriches the experience of every team member.
The current opportunity at Holbrook House is for a talented Pastry Chef who is passionate about creating exceptional desserts and baked goods. This role goes beyond basic pastry preparation; it involves innovation, quality control, and active collaboration with the Chef Team and service staff to deliver desserts that meet high standards of taste, presentation, and consistency. The Pastry Chef is responsible for preparing, baking, and finishing an array of pastries, breads, cakes, cookies, and plated desserts in accordance with established recipes and standards. Attention to detail, creativity, and excellent technical skills are essential to thrive in this position.
Additionally, the Pastry Chef will assist in the development of new desserts and seasonal pastry items that reflect the restaurant's commitment to using fresh, seasonal ingredients with global influences. The role also requires maintaining proper mise en place, including scaling, mixing, portioning, and storing ingredients properly to ensure efficiency and quality. Operating and maintaining key pastry equipment such as mixers, ovens, proofers, and sheeters is another vital responsibility.
Quality assurance is paramount, so the Pastry Chef must consistently monitor baking times and temperatures to prevent under- or over-baking, and maintain cleanliness and organization of the pastry station in compliance with hygiene and food safety standards. Stock rotation, proper labeling of ingredients, and waste minimization are crucial practices to uphold. The role extends to inventory management and ordering of supplies, ensuring that the pastry department runs smoothly and efficiently.
Holbrook House values leadership and mentorship; therefore, the Pastry Chef may be called upon to train, mentor, or supervise junior pastry assistants or apprentices. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter with excellent problem-solving abilities and the capacity to work independently as well as part of a team. This role requires flexibility in scheduling, including availability for days, evenings, and weekends, aligning with the restaurant and events calendar.
Holbrook House offers compensation based on experience and a package that includes paid sick leave. This role presents an exciting chance for a pastry professional to grow and contribute creatively within a reputable and vibrant San Francisco establishment known for its quality and culture.
