What This Role Involves

As the Seasonal Chef Instructor (Pastry) you become the on-site authority for baking fundamentals and pastry techniques in White Plains, New York. You create approachable, memorable learning moments that promote a deeper interest in dessert-making while naturally supporting the sale of related bakeware, mixers, and decorating items.

• Lead hands-on pastry and baking classes that follow established recipes and plans, weaving specialized techniques into encouraging, easy-to-follow guidance so every guest leaves confident and inspired.
• Represent the brand by crafting educational experiences that generate loyalty, positive word-of-mouth, and interest in additional classes.
• Drive enrollment and revenue targets through energetic guest interaction, second-class sign-ups, promotion of featured retail products, and strong class reviews.
• Prepare class stations by organizing mise en place, prepping ingredients, and then breaking down, washing, and sanitizing equipment so sessions run smoothly.
• Restock and maintain kitchen tools and supplies, manage inventory carefully to control waste and costs, and keep the space clean and safe while promptly noting any maintenance needs.
• Uphold food-safety standards, local health codes, and sanitation rules; handle equipment and ingredients correctly; and, when required, manage alcoholic items in line with regulations and age-verification policies.
• Record work hours accurately, follow wage-and-hour rules and all store procedures, and stay current on products through available training and independent learning.

What You Bring

• Age 21 or older at hire.
• Culinary-arts degree preferred, or demonstrated technical skill supported by extensive kitchen experience.
• One to two years of kitchen-operations background.
• Valid Food Manager Certification.
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and decision-making skills plus a genuine desire to engage the local community and deliver standout guest experiences.
• Ability to stand for stretches of up to four hours, move throughout the store while directing participants and retrieving merchandise, differentiate flavors and aromas, lift up to 50 pounds, climb ladders, perform the full range of kitchen movements (reach, bend, kneel, grasp), operate POS and computer systems, and work flexibly 12–16 hours per week—including evenings, weekends, and holidays—with reliable attendance and the capacity to adapt class assignments; you must also function comfortably around open heat sources, temperature shifts, and food allergens.
