Our company
Nonna Lia is a fast-growing Italian dessert shop and cafe catered to savvy customers with a premium taste. Our dessert team continues to expand so we are looking to hire some extra help at our main kitchen in Oakwood Village (337 Oakwood Ave).
Our team
We are a relentless, caring, and dedicated team that is constantly looking to experiment, improve, and have some fun! As an associate, you will do great if you:
- Constantly obsess about customer satisfaction
- Pursue flawless execution and pay close attention to details
- Are entrepreneurial, passionate, and willing to take the initiative
Your opportunity
As a pastry cook, you will get a chance to contribute firsthand to the development of our extended family. If you are aiming to be part of a business that is rapidly expanding, with tons of opportunity for growth, then this is the place to be.
You responsibilities:
- Prepare a wide range of Nonna Lia's "staple" desserts, which include: Tiramisù, Semifreddo, Gelato Bars, and Cakes
- As required, support the production of one-time, seasonal, or special desserts (e.g. new tasting menu, desserts of the week)
- Collaborate closely with Head Pastry Chef, Kitchen Manager, and other kitchen staff, demonstrating a team-first mindset
- Ensure consistency in taste, appearance, and portioning in line with Company guidelines and recipes
- Maintain a clean and organized work station following health and safety standards, and support with kitchen duties related to cleaning, tidying up, and organization
- Support with inventory storage, counting, and monitoring
- As needed, support with customer-related tasks such as fulfilling orders, packing deliveries, or fulfilling wholesale requests
Your growth:
We strive to give everyone an opportunity to learn and grow. As a Pastry Cook, you could grow into a supervisory position at Nonna Lia, or if looking for a change of scenery, consider our new and exciting projects: vegan desserts, handmade pastas, focaccia sandwiches, and an innovative 7-course tasting menu.
