Job Title: Pastry Chef / Head Baker – Croissants & European Patisserie (Current Specialty Café, Founding Team)

Location: Jalandhar Heights-II, 66 Feet Road, Jalandhar, Punjab

Job Type: Full-time

Salary: ₹35,000 – ₹55,000/month (negotiable for exceptional candidates) + performance bonus after stabilization

About Us

Cavallo is a new specialty coffee café and European kitchen opening in Jalandhar. Our patisserie program is central to the brand — not an afterthought. You'll run a dedicated bakery section with a professional deck oven, proofer, and spiral mixer, producing viennoiserie and desserts at a standard this city hasn't seen. This is a founding-team role: your croissant will be one of the signatures we're known for.

The Role

You will own the bakery and pastry section end-to-end — lamination, breads, desserts, and daily production planning. Our program includes croissants and twice-baked almond croissants (a house signature), Basque burnt cheesecake, panna cotta and plated desserts, and all breads for the kitchen (sando breads, pizza support, breakfast breads).





Responsibilities

Run the daily viennoiserie program: croissant lamination, proofing schedules, and bake-off timed to our 7 AM opening

Produce house signatures to exact standard: twice-baked almond croissant, Basque burnt cheesecake

Bake all in-house breads: brioche/milk buns for sandos, sourdough or country loaves, breakfast breads

Prepare dessert components and plated desserts in coordination with the head chef (panna cotta, seasonal desserts)

Own the production schedule — overnight cold proofs, prep lists, par levels — so the display case is full at open and stays full

Manage bakery ingredient sourcing (butter quality matters to us — we'll buy what your lamination needs), inventory, and wastage

Train a commis/assistant baker as volume grows

Maintain FSSAI-standard hygiene in the bakery section

Requirements

3+ years in a patisserie, artisan bakery, or hotel bakery section, with hands-on lamin
