About Fantasty Bakery
Fantasty Bakery is a micro-bakery factory supplying fresh and packaged bakery goods to other bakeries, retail stores, and food businesses. We are building a reliable production operation that can make consistent products at volume, with strong control over quality, cost, hygiene, and delivery.
The role
We are hiring a hands-on Chef / Production Lead to lead daily production and help build a high-volume, repeatable bakery operation. You will own production on the floor, develop practical recipes and processes, guide a small team, and establish the standards needed to supply multiple customers consistently.
This is suited to a chef or bakery professional who enjoys building systems, solving practical problems, and taking responsibility for volume output—not only creating recipes.
As Fantasty grows, new customers, products, production lines, and leadership opportunities will develop. This is an exciting chance to join early, make a visible contribution, and grow with the company as the bakery operation expands.
What you will own
· Plan and execute daily production to meet customer orders and volume targets.
· Lead mixing, preparation, baking, cooling, finishing, and handover to packing.
· Stabilise recipes for consistency, yield, shelf life, appearance, and cost.
· Create practical batch sheets, production standards, cleaning routines, and shift checklists.
· Train and guide bakery assistants and bench staff.
· Maintain high standards of food safety, personal hygiene, sanitation, allergen awareness, and traceability.
· Control ingredient usage, wastage, batch yields, rework, and production records.
· Coordinate with packing, dispatch, procurement, and the founder so orders are ready at the right time.
· Support factory layout, equipment commissioning, trial bakes, and production scale-up.
· Investigate production or quality issues and put corrective actions in place.
· Give clear, practical feedback on equipment, staffing, ingredients, packaging, and product range decisions.
Product focus
The product mix will centre on familiar Indian bakery products that can be produced consistently at volume, including:
· Sandwich bread, milk bread, pav, and other bread products
· Indian vegetable puffs and other savoury bakery products
· Tea cakes, muffins, and rusks
· Cookies, biscuits, and nankhatai
· Brownies and other selected bakery products based on customer demand
The range will develop according to customer orders, production capability, and the products that can be made consistently at the required volume.
What success looks like in the first 90 days
· A stable set of recipes with documented methods, batch sizes, and yields.
· Reliable production plans that meet daily and weekly volume requirements.
· Consistent taste, texture, weight, appearance, and pack-ready quality.
· Low and understood wastage, with clear reasons for exceptions.
· A clean, safe, well-organised production area.
· A bakery assistant team that can follow the process consistently.
· Smooth handover to packing and customer dispatch.
· The ability to increase volume without losing consistency or hygiene.
What we are looking for
· Meaningful professional experience in bakery production, central production, packaged bakery, or a comparable food-production environment.
· Strong practical capability across breads, Indian savoury bakery products, puffs, cakes, cookies, muffins, brownies, or similar products.
· A record of producing consistently at volume, including the ability to plan labour, batches, and oven time around customer orders.
· Comfort with recipes expressed in weights, batch sizes, yields, tolerances, and process controls.
· Good understanding of hygiene, sanitation, allergen control, storage, and basic food-safety systems.
· Ability to lead a small team calmly and clearly on a busy production day.
· Willingness to work early starts when required for production and dispatch.
· A builder’s mindset: curious, organised, resourceful, and comfortable improving an imperfect system.
· Clear communication in English and/or Kannada/Hindi; other local-language ability is welcome.
This role may not suit you if
· You want a purely creative or restaurant-focused chef role.
· You are not comfortable measuring performance through consistency, yield, wastage, and on-time output.
· You prefer delegating production rather than working hands-on with a small production team.
· You are unwilling to work within food-safety, documentation, and cleaning disciplines.
Working pattern and practical details
· Full-time, site-based role in Sarjapur, Bengaluru.
· Early-morning starts may be required to complete production and dispatch on time.
· Final salary, benefits, probation, weekly rest day, and working hours will be agreed with the selected candidate.
