About Paoroti

Essential Qualities — What We Are Looking For

Quality / Trait

What to Look For





Willingness to Learn

This role does not require an expert baker — but it does require someone genuinely eager to improve their skills. We will train the right person. A growth mindset matters more than a long CV here.

Recipe Discipline

Must be able to follow a written recipe precisely and accurately. Baking is unforgiving of guesswork. We need someone who weighs, measures, and follows timings without shortcuts.

Physical Stamina

Kitchen work is physically demanding: long hours on your feet, early mornings, lifting trays, and working near hot ovens. The candidate should be fit and comfortable in this environment.

Punctuality & Discipline

Production schedules are tight. A line baker who is regularly late or absent disrupts the entire day’s output. Reliability is essential.

Attention to Detail

Noticing that a dough hasn’t proofed correctly, that a brownie tray is overbaking, or that an ingredient is running low — these small observations make a big difference in a small kitchen.

Team Player

This person works closely with the Head Baker and one other Line Baker all day. A positive, cooperative attitude and willingness to take direction without friction is important.

Hygiene Habits

Food safety must be taken seriously. Clean hands, tied-back hair, no jewellery, and careful handling of allergen-sensitive ingredients (especially in a dairy-free kitchen).





Curiosity About Food

We want people who are interested in what they’re making — who taste the batter, ask why a dough needs this amount of proofing, and care about the final product. Passion beats indifference every time.

Qualifications & Experience

Requirement

Experience

0–2 years. Freshers with genuine interest in baking are welcome. Prior experience at a bakery, hotel kitchen, or food production unit is an advantage but not required.

Education

No formal qualification required. A short baking course, diploma, or FCI/IHM training is a bonus. Practical aptitude matters more than certificates at this level.

Basic Kitchen Skills

Should understand basic kitchen hygiene, be able to use weighing scales accurately, and be comfortable around commercial ovens and mixers.

Language

Assamese or Hindi required. Basic communication skills sufficient — ability to read a recipe card and follow spoken instructions.

Location

Must be based in or easily commutable to the kitchen location in Guwahati. Early morning start means proximity matters.

What We Will Train You In

We do not expect Line Bakers to arrive knowing everything. Here is what Paoroti will actively teach the right candidate:

- Vegan baking techniques — working with plant-based butters, milks, and tofu
- Artisan bread fundamentals — dough handling, fermentation, shaping, and scoring
- Our specific product recipes and quality standards
- FSSAI food safety and hygiene compliance
- Kitchen organisation and production flow for a cloud kitchen setting

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: ₹10,000.00 - ₹12,000.00 per month

Benefits:

- Cell phone reimbursement
- Paid time off
