Your Role
As the Bakery / Café Manager, you’ll take full ownership of day-to-day operations, lead and develop your team, and ensure every customer walks away with a great experience (and maybe a croissant).
You’ll be the driving force behind a fast-paced, high-volume store — balancing leadership, organisation, and hands-on service, while creating a positive, high-performing team environment.

Lead and oversee all daily bakery and café operations
Manage, train, and motivate a small, tight-knit team
Ensure fast, efficient, and friendly customer service at all times
Oversee rostering, staffing, and team performance
Manage inventory, ordering, and stock rotation
Coordinate with the bakery team to ensure consistent product availability
Maintain high standards of cleanliness, food safety, and presentation
Handle opening and closing procedures and overall store accountability
Be hands-on and lead from the front during busy service periods
What We’re Looking For
Proven experience in a management role within food service, café, or retail
A confident leader who can run a shift and keep things moving
Strong organisational and communication skills
A proactive, hands-on attitude — you’re not afraid to jump in where needed
Ability to stay calm and efficient in a fast-paced environment
A genuine love for fresh food, community, and team culture
Flexibility to work early mornings and Saturdays.
What We Offer
A supportive and welcoming work environment
Competitive salary based on experience
Staff discounts on all our baked goods
A stable, well-established business with consistent hours.
Closed on Sundays to enjoy time with your friends and family.
Real opportunity to take ownership and make the role your own
Become part of a team where work feels like home — and the ovens are always warm. ❤️
Family-Run & Friendly – We foster a caring, collaborative atmosphere. No corporate vibes — just good people doing good work.
Pride in the Craft – We make everything from scratch. You’ll learn traditional methods and work with high-quality ingredients daily.
Room to Grow – Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, we offer training and hands-on experience.
