About this role
At The Ritz-Carlton's Charlotte location, this full-time pastry cook role centers on executing baked goods and pastry items to the hotel's exacting standards. You'll prepare ingredients, operate baking equipment, portion and plate items, and maintain rigorous food safety and sanitation protocols throughout your shift. The work is hands-on and physically demanding—expect to stand for extended periods, lift up to 25 pounds regularly, and move through a fast-paced kitchen environment while monitoring quality and temperature controls.
The position suits someone with minimal formal pastry experience (less than a year is acceptable) who has a high school diploma or equivalent and is willing to follow detailed recipes and procedures precisely. You'll need to work cleanly and professionally, communicate clearly with kitchen staff and management, and stay alert to safety and sanitation standards. This is an entry-level to early-career pastry role within a luxury hospitality setting, where consistency, attention to detail, and reliability matter as much as technical skill.
