Cafe Production Manager

Reports to: General Manager

With a projected 1,000 cafes in the United States by 2030, Paris Baguette is one of the fastest-growing neighborhood bakery cafés in the world. Paris Baguette’s mission is to bring expertly crafted baked and brewed goods through a warm and welcoming bakery café experience that delivers joy to everyone.

At Paris Baguette, we serve up graciousness and are happy to put the needs of others first. We are attentive and accommodating to our guests and to each other. We mix in a little love, comfort and compassion into our work every step of the way. We work diligently with a dedication to quality at our core, taking ownership of our actions and decisions. We hold ourselves accountable to our word. We face challenges head on, and when the bar is set high, we have the conviction to clear it with confidence. We pour our heart into everything we do.

It is why pastries to us are not just a product, they are our passion. And why our bakers, cakers, sandwich team members and baristas go further every day to perfect their craft, serving up freshly-baked breads, delicious coffee and cakes more than worthy of their pedestals.
