Baker
About The Position
Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee is hiring a baker to produce scratch-made doughnuts in small batches using high-quality ingredients. Bakers work across multiple production stations and develop their craft over time. The position emphasizes product quality, consistency, cleanliness, food safety, teamwork, and maintaining accuracy and composure during busy periods. Production shifts may begin early in the morning or occur overnight. Starting pay varies by location and local market; entry-level bakers begin at the location’s minimum wage with hands-on training.
