Comfortable with baking techniques and kitchen organization
All-rounder mentality – willing to jump in wherever needed
Attention to detail and pride in presentation
Ability to work efficiently and cleanly in a small kitchen
Good communication and a team-first attitude
French speaker? That’s a bonus!
Barista skills? Also a plus!
