About Sara’s Mediterranean Market

At  Sara’s Mediterranean Market , every pastry tells a story — one of craftsmanship, heritage, and passion. Our bakery blends French technique with Mediterranean soul, offering everything from delicate croissants and traditional baklava to seasonal desserts made with the finest ingredients. We take pride in creating a sensory experience that celebrates authenticity, artistry, and heart.

We’re looking for a  Pastry Sous Chef who shares that same passion for excellence — someone who thrives in a creative, fast-paced kitchen and takes pride in leading by example.

 

Position Overview

The  Pastry Sous Chef plays a key leadership role within our bakery team, assisting the Executive Pastry Chef in daily production, recipe development, and team management. You’ll help oversee the preparation of pastries, viennoiserie, cakes, and desserts that meet Sara’s exacting standards for quality, presentation, and consistency.

This is a hands-on position for someone who balances artistry with precision — and who finds joy in elevating the guest experience through food.

 

Key Responsibilities

Production & Quality

  • Oversee daily pastry and bakery production, ensuring consistency, precision, and adherence to recipes.
  • Execute a variety of baked goods including croissants, cakes, tarts, cookies, and Mediterranean-inspired desserts.
  • Maintain the highest standards of food quality, freshness, and presentation.
  • Assist in developing new seasonal pastries and specialty items in collaboration with the Executive Pastry Chef.
  • Monitor product rotation and waste management to ensure efficiency and freshness.

Leadership & Team Management

  • Supervise pastry cooks and prep staff, ensuring productivity and adherence to safety standards.
  • Train and mentor team members on proper techniques, timing, and quality control.
  • Foster a positive, creative, and collaborative kitchen culture.
  • Assist with scheduling, labor planning, and inventory management.

Operations & Organization

  • Ensure compliance with health, safety, and sanitation regulations.
  • Maintain equipment, tools, and workspace in excellent condition.
  • Support the Executive Pastry Chef in inventory ordering and cost control.
  • Uphold the Sara’s brand standards in every pastry that leaves the kitchen.

 

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of professional pastry or baking experience; leadership experience preferred.
  • Strong foundation in classic French pastry techniques and familiarity with Mediterranean desserts.
  • Excellent attention to detail, organization, and time management.
  • Creativity, passion for innovation, and dedication to consistency.
  • Ability to work early mornings, weekends, and holidays as needed.
  • Culinary or pastry degree preferred but not required.

 

Why Join Sara’s

  • Be part of a  growing, family-owned Mediterranean brand  celebrated for its quality and craftsmanship.
  • Work in a beautiful, high-standard bakery environment with top-tier ingredients.
  • Collaborate with passionate chefs and artisans who care deeply about their craft.
  • Competitive pay and career growth opportunities.

 

If you believe baking is an art — and hospitality is an expression of love — we’d love to meet you.

Join Sara’s Mediterranean Market and help us bring a taste of the Mediterranean to every table.
