ARTISAN BAKER (IN-HOUSE BAKERY)

Description

Specialists in smash burgers, with stores in Portugal, Italy, and Switzerland, we are now expanding into the streets of Madrid with Street: a unique gastronomic experience that blends urban energy with the authenticity of our burgers. We are obsessed with quality, which is why the kitchen is not merely a functional space but an integral part of the dining area—where customers can watch and experience the entire preparation process firsthand. Enjoy them at our venue, for takeout, or via delivery. **JOB MISSION.** The Artisan Baker (in-house bakery) is responsible for the daily bread production served at the restaurant, prepared within the integrated on-site bakery. Their mission is to guarantee product quality, consistency, and freshness in every batch, adhering to the standards and processes defined by Street Smash Burgers. **RESPONSIBILITIES.** **Production & Preparation.** * Responsible for daily in-store bread production, following the brand-defined process and standards. * Dough preparation, shaping, fermentation, and baking. * Meeting required production pace to support service needs. * Planning daily production batches, adjusting output rhythm to demand peaks (weekends and rush hours). * Monitoring cooling and proper storage of finished products. **Quality & Consistency.** * Ensuring each item meets the brand’s defined quality standards. * Identifying and correcting potential deviations in the process. * Recording daily production to maintain traceability. **Raw Materials Management.** * Managing inventory of ingredients and auxiliary materials in the bakery. * Timely reordering of stock. * Receiving and properly storing raw materials. **Hygiene, Food Safety & Maintenance.** * Compliance with food handling regulations and HACCP protocols. * Daily cleaning and maintenance of the bakery and equipment. * Safe use of bakery equipment and reporting of technical issues. * Proper management of waste generated during production. **Customer Experience.** * The bakery is visible from the restaurant dining area: maintaining a tidy workstation and presenting the production process professionally at all times. * Promptly addressing customer curiosity about the process, as appropriate. **Collaboration & Continuous Improvement.** * Coordinating with kitchen and front-of-house teams to align production rhythm with service demand. * Participating in initial training and process fine-tuning prior to venue opening. * Proposing process improvements once daily production has stabilized. * Potential support in training new bakers if the in-house bakery model expands to future locations. * Fluency in Spanish and advanced English proficiency are valued. * Prior experience in fast-casual restaurant operations at team leadership/supervisory level (mandatory). * Ability to work effectively under pressure: discipline and efficiency to maintain quality during peak demand. * High-Risk Food Handler Certificate **What Are We Looking For in the Artisan Baker (In-House Bakery)?** We seek a baker with solid experience in artisanal bakeries or in-house bakery settings, ideally with background in pastry or enriched doughs. Exceptional rigor and process discipline are essential: the brand relies on standardized recipes and methods, and we need someone capable of replicating identical results batch after batch—never leaving consistency to chance. As this role involves a single baker per shift managing the full daily production cycle independently, strong organizational skills, autonomy, and availability to work weekends—which concentrate the venue’s highest workload—are mandatory. We value a detail-oriented, proactive profile comfortable working in view of the public, given the bakery’s visibility from the dining area. Lastly, this is an opportunity to join the founding team of Street Smash Burgers’ first dedicated in-house bakery, with potential to assume a reference role should the model expand to new locations. **Offer Conditions** **Contract Type** * Permanent contract with a 1-month probationary period * Full-time: 40 hours per week (rotating shifts, including weekends and public holidays). * Applicable collective agreement: Madrid Community Hospitality Collective Agreement. * 30 calendar days of annual vacation + compensation for worked public holidays (via rest days or additional vacation, per agreement) **Compensation** * **As per collective agreement** * Additional compensation for complementary, night, overtime, and event hours, in accordance with current legislation. **Additional Benefits** * 50% discount at the restaurant **Work Location** Central Madrid Employment Modality: On-site Salary: €20,000.00–€23,000.00 per year Benefits: * Training program * Uniform provided Work Location: On-site employment
