Now Hiring: Executive Pastry Chef | Bonrue Bakery


Who We Are

Bonrue Bakery is a chef-founded brand rooted in precision, pace, and pastry. Known for our buttery croissants, seasonal viennoiseries, and refined desserts, we bring French technique to fast-growing, high-volume bakery service.

As we scale our brand across the region, we’re searching for a visionary Executive Pastry Chef to lead and grow our pastry program. This is a leadership role for a working chef—someone who thrives on excellence, inspires teams, and pushes the boundaries of pastry with discipline and flair.


The Role

You’ll oversee all pastry and dessert operations—from recipe development and daily execution to quality control and team training. You’ll collaborate closely with our Executive Baker and savory leads to drive innovation while protecting Bonrue’s core standards.


What You’ll Do

  • Lead daily production of all pastry items including croissants, danishes, puff pastries, tarts, cookies, and seasonal desserts
  • Ensure consistency in quality, portioning, flavor, and presentation across all pastry and dessert offerings
  • Manage and train the pastry team—including head pastry chefs, assistants, and prep bakers
  • Collaborate on seasonal R&D, recipe testing, and rollout of limited-time products
  • Partner with Executive Baker to align pastry and savory production for smooth operations
  • Own mise en place systems, prep lists, production logs, and shift organization
  • Create SOPs for new products, ensuring scalable, repeatable quality
  • Maintain a clean, efficient, and food-safe pastry kitchen in compliance with health standards
  • Lead inventory, ordering, and vendor relationships for all pastry-related goods
  • Ensure all pastry equipment is maintained and functioning properly
  • Jump in during service to support, lead, and problem-solve as needed
  • Participate in events, tastings, and marketing content creation as a creative brand voice

Who You Are

You might be the perfect fit if you:

  • Have 7+ years of professional pastry experience, with at least 3 in a leadership or executive role
  • Are a master of viennoiserie and laminated doughs, with a deep understanding of fermentation, proofing, and shaping
  • Love balancing tradition with modern plating, seasonal innovation, and scalable execution
  • Are comfortable leading teams in high-volume production without sacrificing detail
  • Can coach, mentor, and hold your team to high standards while keeping morale strong
  • Thrive in organized chaos, know how to delegate, and aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty
  • Are proactive, accountable, and solution-oriented—no drama, just discipline
  • Have ServSafe and a current Utah Food Handler’s Permit (or are willing to obtain)

What We Offer
  • Competitive salary + bonus opportunity
  • Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • Culinary and leadership development support
  • Creative freedom to bring seasonal and new concepts to life
  • Autonomy, trust, and a seat at the leadership table
  • The chance to build and scale one of Utah’s most admired pastry programs
