Baker

Overview
Tous Les Jours is a French-Asian inspired bakery café with over 110 locations across the United States and 1,700+ worldwide. We bake everything fresh in-store every day — artisan breads, pastries, fresh cream cakes, and handcrafted beverages made with premium ingredients.

We’re looking for a Baker to join our production team. You’ll be responsible for baking the beautiful, fresh-baked breads, pastries, and savory items that fill our display cases before the doors open every morning. This means thawing, shaping, molding, proofing, baking, and finishing — all to the brand’s exact standard. Your job is the finishing process: perfect shapes, proper proofing, correct bake times, and consistent presentation. We’ll train you on TLJ’s specific products. What we can’t teach is reliability, attention to detail, and a genuine pride in producing beautiful work.

Responsibilities

• Execute daily bread and pastry production — prepping dough, shaping, molding, proofing, baking, decorating, and finishing to TLJ standards.
• Maintain consistent quality and presentation across all products, every day.
• Manage production timing so all items are ready before store opening.
• Receive and organize ingredient deliveries using FIFO rotation.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and food-safe work environment at all times.
• Monitor product quality and flag any issues to the Kitchen Manager.

Requirements

• Baking experience preferred but not required — you won’t be making dough from scratch. If you can follow a process precisely and take pride in consistent results, we’ll train you.
• Comfortable with early morning shifts (4:00–5:00am starts). This is non-negotiable.
• Detail-oriented — every croissant, every loaf, every pastry has to meet the standard.
• Reliable and punctual. If you’re not here, the cases don’t get filled.
• Able to stand for long periods, lift 50 lbs, and work in a warm kitchen environment.
• Food Handler certification (or willingness to obtain within 30 days).

Benefits

• Competitive pay based on experience.
• A real skill — learn professional bakery production techniques you’ll carry for life.
• Growth path to Lead Baker or production leadership as the business grows.
• Free bakery items and employee discounts.
• A team that respects the craft and each other.

Every day, we bake with heart.

At Tous les Jours, we believe that great baking is an act of care — for our craft, our community, and the guests who walk through our doors. We're looking for bakers who find meaning in the details: the perfect lamination, the right proofing time, the finishing touch that makes a pastry worth pausing for. If you take pride in what you make and believe that fresh, thoughtfully crafted food can brighten someone's day, you'll feel right at home here.
