Demi Chef de Partie - Pastry - The Hoxton Bengaluru City

What you’ll do…

• Prepare and present pastries, desserts, breads and other sweet items to our recipes and standards.
• Set up your section properly before service and keep it organised, clean and ready throughout the shift.
• Work closely with the Chef de Partie and senior pastry team to deliver consistent quality, taste and presentation.
• Check ingredients, equipment and mise en place before service, raising issues early rather than letting them become problems.
• Follow food safety, hygiene and HACCP procedures at all times, keeping accurate records where needed.
• Help manage stock rotation, daily requisitions and storage so ingredients stay fresh and waste stays low.
• Support menu changes, special events and new dishes, bringing ideas and being open to feedback.
• Look after kitchen equipment and report anything that needs repairing.
• Help new team members find their feet and share what you know as your confidence grows.
• Jump into other sections when the kitchen needs you - no egos, just good teamwork.

What we’re looking for…

• Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
• Passion for hospitality - whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
• You’ll have some experience in a professional pastry kitchen, bakery or hotel kitchen and a good grounding in basic pastry techniques.
• You care about detail, consistency and presentation, but you can also work with pace when service gets busy.
• You understand the importance of food hygiene, safe working and keeping a well-organised section.
• You’re keen to learn, take feedback well and want to build a proper career in pastry.
• You’re reliable, positive and happy working as part of a close kitchen team.
• A culinary or pastry qualification is useful, but practical skill, attitude and potential matter most.
