Bake the Favorites Our Guests Love

There's nothing quite like the smell of fresh rolls coming out of the oven and at Chuck-A-Rama, our Bakers are behind some of the most-loved foods on our buffet. As a Baker, you'll prepare our famous rolls, scones, desserts, and other bakery favorites from scratch every day. You'll mix, prepare, bake, and finish recipes while making sure everything looks and tastes just the way our guests expect.

Our Bakers are truly the heartbeat of our made-from-scratch kitchen. If you love working with your hands, take pride in getting the details just right, and enjoy seeing something you've made come together from start to finish, this could be the perfect role for you.

Even better? Most bakery shifts are daytime hours, typically around 7:00 AM–3:00 PM.

A typical shift may include:

• Preparing our signature rolls and scones from scratch
• Making cakes, cookies, pies, puddings, and other desserts
• Measuring, mixing, portioning, shaping, and baking according to Chuck-A-Rama recipes
• Preparing doughs, batters, fillings, toppings, and other bakery items
• Making sure baked goods are fresh, consistent, and beautifully presented
• Planning ahead so bakery favorites are ready when the buffet needs them
• Setting up and stocking your workstation
• Safely operating and caring for bakery and kitchen equipment
• Keeping your work area clean, organized, and sanitized
• Following food safety, sanitation, and handling procedures
• Working with the kitchen team to keep fresh food coming throughout the day

Great Bakers know that the little things matter. Following a recipe carefully, staying organized, and paying attention to timing can make the difference between something that's good and something guests can't wait to come back for. We're looking for someone who:

• Is at least 18 years old
• Enjoys baking and working with food
• Can carefully follow recipes and instructions
• Is organized, dependable, and task-oriented
• Pays close attention to quality and consistency
• Can manage multiple recipes and tasks throughout a shift
• Communicates well and works as part of a team
• Is willing to obtain a Food Handler Permit
• Understands the importance of food safety and sanitation
• Can safely lift up to 50 pounds to approximately table height
• Is available for scheduled morning and daytime shifts, including some weekends
• Previous baking experience is helpful, but a willingness to learn, attention to detail, and pride in your work are just as important.

We want our team members to enjoy working here just as much as we want our guests to enjoy visiting us.

• Primarily morning and daytime bakery shifts
• Flexible scheduling
• Paid time off
• No late-night bakery shifts
• Dental insurance available to eligible full-time employees
• Deeply discounted meals while working
• Employee discounts
• 401(k) with company match for eligible team members
• Opportunities to learn, grow, and develop your skills

A great Chuck-A-Rama Baker keeps the smell of fresh-baked favorites coming from the kitchen. Recipes are prepared consistently, bakery items are ready when they're needed, and your workspace stays clean and organized. Most importantly, you take pride in knowing that something you made from scratch might just be someone's favorite part of their visit.

For over 60 years, families have gathered around our tables to enjoy made-from-scratch food and many of our bakery favorites have become traditions of their own. If you love baking, enjoy working with your hands, and want to make food that puts a smile on someone's face, we'd love to have you join the team.

Since 1966, Chuck-A-Rama has been much more than a family buffet. We are proud to offer healthy options that fuel world famous athletes, sponsor local schools and universities, and feed worthy causes across Utah and Idaho.
We have 11 locations, 9 in Utah and 2 in Idaho, and are always looking for outstanding people to be part of our team. Our goal is to deliver the highest possible quality in food and service, and to do so consistently.
We feel that the people who work for Chuck-A-Rama are a cut above the rest and we are proud of our accomplishments. Many of our current management-level staff began with the company as hourly employees, and employees are encouraged by the partners to advance through the corporation.
