Gran Via Group | Berkeley, CA
Mile Limit + La Marcha Tapas Bar
Full-Time | Compensation DOE
Gran Via Group is looking for a talented, passionate Pastry Chef to join our growing restaurant group.
This is a hands-on production role supporting Mile Limit and La Marcha Tapas Bar, with the opportunity to grow into a larger role as our company expands. We currently operate multiple restaurant and hospitality concepts in Berkeley, with two additional restaurants coming soon.
We’re looking for someone who is an excellent cook, organized, creative, consistent, and comfortable working independently. This is not a position where we want to micromanage every prep list. We want someone who takes ownership of their work, cares about quality, and wants to build something with us.
What You’ll Do
* Produce desserts and pastry components for Mile Limit and La Marcha
* Handle morning pastry and specialty prep
* Develop and test new desserts, baked goods, breads, sauces, creams, custards, and other components
* Maintain recipes, yields, pars, organization, and consistency
* Work closely with the Executive Chef on menu development
* Help establish pastry systems that can scale across multiple restaurants
* Maintain a clean, organized, professional workspace
This role will also have opportunities to work beyond traditional pastry. We want someone with strong culinary instincts who is excited about creative restaurant food and enjoys developing new things.
Who We’re Looking For
* Professional pastry, baking, or restaurant production experience
* Strong fundamental cooking skills
* Excellent organization and attention to detail
* Comfortable working independently
* Reliable and consistent
* Passionate about food and constantly interested in getting better
* Able to follow recipes precisely while also contributing creatively
* Interested in growing into more responsibility
Opportunity to Grow
Gran Via Group is an emerging restaurant group with ambitious plans for the next several years. In addition to Mile Limit and La Marcha, we have two new restaurant projects in development.
We want this person to grow with us. As the group expands, there will be opportunities for increased compensation, leadership responsibility, menu development, and potentially overseeing pastry production across multiple concepts.
If you’re looking for more than just another pastry job and want the opportunity to help shape the food program of a growing restaurant group, we’d love to meet you.
To apply: Send your resume and a short introduction telling us about your pastry and culinary experience.
