A little about us:
We're an independently owned bagel shop and café making everything from scratch in small batches and using traditional techniques. Our bagels are rolled by hand and cold-proofed for 24 hours before boiling and baking. We also make pastries in house, cure and slice our own salmon, and make our own cream cheese spreads. We're mostly self-taught bakers who enjoy what we make and care about putting our best into everything we do. People say our bagels are good: RI Monthly Best of RI (2017), Eater (Top 9 New Restaurants in PVD) and Phantom Gourmet have praised us.
Please note we're looking for candidates who are committed to growing with us for at least a year. Seasonal opportunities will be listed as such. Thanks!

Production/Kitchen Manager
Full-time opportunity (40-50 hours/week)
We’re looking for a Production Manager to join our team! The Production Manager bears the full responsibility of making sure our kitchen team runs well and turns out beautiful and tasty food. Working with the General Manager, the Production Manager executes and strategizes for every aspect of running the kitchen at a high level.
The ideal candidate will be a person who gets things done and does them well! When you commit to improving your craft every time you practice it, your work’s shine reflects on you and that feels good. Our kitchen is clean, we fix things when they break, and we take care of our tools; we are looking for you to keep that going. Our Production Manager needs to be a team player who is not above any task (do you clean the grease trap?), and able to maintain a positive work environment while holding team members accountable to high standards.
We are looking for someone who can handle responsibility and work autonomously, which means you should be able to take charge, give and receive feedback with maturity, solve problems when they come up, and think ahead to prevent problems from coming up in the future. We are in a period of expansion for our business and the right candidate will be primed to take advantage of future growth opportunities.
A well-rounded candidate with varied knowledge in the kitchen will be most successful. In addition to making bagels and pastries, we cure our own lox and slice it daily. We also prepare sauces, eggs and meats for sandwiches and you should have the taste and creativity to help us build on that.
We make a lot of bagels and that requires planning your work well. This position requires someone who is highly organized, has strong communication skills, understands dependencies between tasks and can prioritize their own work as well as others’. Do you know how long tasks take to execute, and can you keep the team on track for production? Margins are made in the kitchen, and the Production Manager will have a bonus structure that reflects that potential to win.
