Location: 160 University Ave W, Waterloo, ON (University / Downtown area)

Type: Full-Time

About Aunty’s Kitchen:

  • We’re a 100 % Halal Pakistani / South Asian–inspired restaurant & catering company, with bold flavor, high standards, and creative twists (e.g. fusion desserts, “modern twist” items).
  • Alongside our walk-in/take-out menu (biryanis, kababs, curries, wraps, etc.), we run full-service catering for private events, parties, and weekend bookings. We’re expanding our dessert offerings to match the quality and creativity of our savory menu.

Role Overview:

We’re seeking a Baker with hot kitchen experience to split time between baking/desserts and supporting our main kitchen. You’ll be part of a dynamic team in a fast-paced, flavor-forward environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Produce a range of desserts: cakes, tarts, pastries, plated desserts, fusion sweets (e.g. South-Asian spice cakes)
  • Assist in hot kitchen tasks: prep, cooking sauces/gravies, sides, basic savory dishes
  • Help maintain recipe consistency, quality, and presentation
  • Innovate or refine dessert menu items that align with our brand (creative & bold flavors)
  • Monitor ingredient stock & assist in inventory of baking supplies
  • Uphold high standards of cleanliness, food safety (especially halal compliance)
  • Occasionally assist in catering dessert setup and on-site service

Skills & Qualifications:

  • 1–3+ years professional baking experience
  • Prior experience working in a hot kitchen (restaurants / catering)
  • Comfortable working with spices, bold flavors, delicate textures
  • Strong time management & organization skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Knowledge of halal food handling & kitchen protocols
  • Familiarity with high-volume production (catering events, weekend surge)

Hours & Schedule:

  • Full-time (with flexibility for morning, evenings and weekends)
  • Catering events are often booked on weekends, so availability then is a plus
  • Early shifts preferred for baking production

What You’ll Get:

  • A creative environment where your dessert ideas are welcomed
  • Opportunity to grow with a growing brand and expand your skill-set
  • Staff meals, discounts, and a team that cares about quality
  • Be part of bridging savory excellence with dessert innovation
