Pastry Chef

Bible briefing · vendor shortlist coming

Pastry chefs run the dessert and bread program — recipe development, daily production, plating during service, and the dessert side of any tasting menu or holiday push. Hotels, fine-dining rooms, and bakery-cafes hire one once dessert revenue or guest expectation justifies a dedicated salaried head. NYC has roughly 200-300 active pastry openings at any given moment in 2026; an executive pastry chef at a serious property runs $160K-$180K (Goodwin Recruiting's current Bronx posting at $160K-$180K is a useful benchmark).
