Baker

Alright, let's talk about this Baker job at Lowes Foods in Greensboro, NC. It's not just about baking; it's the center of a lot of action. You're making sure the cakes and pastries look great and taste fresh, but you're also a big part of how guests feel when they come in. If you like keeping things moving and take pride in your work, this could be a good fit.

What You'll Be Doing

The day to day is a mix of hands on prep, guest interaction, and keeping your area sharp. It's physical, it's detailed, and it matters.

• You’ll prepare all the bakery items for sale. That means icing, decorating, pricing, packaging, and labeling everything.
• Keeping product levels full and fresh is a constant task.
• A big part of the role is decorating cakes to order. You’ll follow the cake manual for designs, write on cakes, mix colors correctly from the chart, and use an airbrush.
• Organization is key. You maintain the freezer and prep areas, rotating stock properly so nothing goes to waste.
• Cleanliness is non negotiable. You’re responsible for cleaning work areas, tools like couplers and decorating bags, and keeping the supply area tidy.
• You’ll help out with general bakery clerk duties when needed, which can include receiving new product and putting it away.
• Talking with guests is part of the job. A friendly greeting goes a long way. You’ll also listen to any special requests they have and pass those along to a manager.
• If equipment isn't working right; like if a cooler's temperature is off; you need to tell your supervisor right away.
• There are some store wide tasks too. We call them "Front Porch" duties; basically making sure the entrance area looks welcoming when guests arrive. Sometimes you might announce daily specials over the store's PA system.

What We Need From You

This isn't a desk job. Here are the specifics we're looking for.

• You need to be at least 18 years old.
• A friendly personality helps. This role involves talking with people throughout your shift.
• The physical side is real. You must be able to lift 25 pounds regularly and up to 50 pounds sometimes.
• You'll be bending, kneeling, and standing for most of your shift.
• You have to be able to work well with other people on your team.
• Following instructions is important. That means reading information; like dates on icing buckets or the cake production sheet; and understanding what to do next.

The Details & How To Apply

The goal for this role is straightforward: help achieve the sales budget for the cake section while managing waste effectively. If this sounds like you; someone who enjoys detailed work but also likes being around people; we should talk.
