  • Collaborate with the Supply Chain & Logistics team to manage ingredient selection, procurement, and inventory planning.
  • Innovation and Product Development

  • Lead the development of core, seasonal, and limited-time-only (LTO) pastry items that reflect TBB’s philosophy—combining French technique with influences from local markets.
  • Run R&D trials, taste panels, and pilot rollouts for new creations.
  • Continuously refine and optimise existing products based on performance data and customer feedback.
  • Collaboration and Cross-Functional Coordination :

  • Coordinate with Marketing to develop compelling narratives for pastry launches.
  • Work with Finance to model cost implications of new products and manage gross profit targets.
  • Partner with Operations to ensure new products are executable at scale, with minimal friction.
  • Team Leadership and Development :

  • Lead and mentor the Central Kitchen Pastry Team and provide guidance to outlet FOH and BOH teams.
  • Build a culture of pride, craftsmanship, and curiosity across the pastry function.
  • Develop training modules to elevate skills, building strengths and capabilities within the team.
  • Regulatory Compliance and Quality Assurance :

  • Conduct regular quality audits and pastry-focused reviews across outlets.
  • Ensure all pastry products meet food safety regulations and brand standards.
  • Maintain strict hygiene standards across all production environments.
  • Key Tasks :

  • Design and roll out TBB’s quarterly pastry calendar, covering core, seasonal, and LTO products.
  • Own recipe development, costing, and documentation for all new pastries.
  • Evaluate pastry performance and customer feedback to inform future iterations.
  • Support Central Kitchen Pastry production, including training, troubleshooting, and quality control.
  • Serve as a key brand ambassador for pastry, representing TBB in media, collaborations, and industry events as needed.
  • KPIs :

  • New Product Performance (%) : Sales performance of new pastry items relative to target, within 3 months of launch.
  • Food Cost of Sales (COS %) : Pastry COS relative to budget and forecast.
  • Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT %) : CSAT for Pastry items, tracked monthly.
