About Hy-Vee

At Hy-Vee, we believe the shortest distance between two people is a smile. We're seeking people with a passion for customer service, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to being part of a team that strives to make our customers' lives easier, healthier and happier.

The Role and Why It's Important

At Hy-Vee, our bakery is a destination for customers who expect freshness, quality, and something that feels homemade. As a Baker, you'll be responsible for preparing and baking the products that fill our cases and fulfill our customers' orders every day.

If you take pride in your craft, thrive in a fast-paced kitchen environment, and enjoy being part of a hardworking team, we'd love to have you on board.

Deliver outstanding customer service by greeting every customer with a smile and assisting them with their needs throughout the store

Check orders for the day and set up a timeline and production schedule, prioritizing special and future orders as needed

Prepare, make up, bake, and fry all department products, proofing items as necessary and pulling product from the freezer or cooler

Write the department schedule and ensure coverage in the Bakery Manager's absence

Practice proper sanitation procedures and keep the work area clean, neat, and safe at all times

Answer the phone promptly and provide friendly, helpful service to customers who call, including taking product orders

Follow Hy-Vee's dress code, hygiene standards, and all department and company guidelines

Pitch in with other tasks or special projects as they come up

Bring commitment to Hy-Vee's mission and a genuine passion for delivering an outstanding customer and team experience

Solve practical problems and make sound decisions with a variety of variables and limited standardization

Apply math skills including fractions, decimals, and percentages in day-to-day tasks
