Job Description
Deli bakers at Pilot Flying J prepare store-baked goods like cookies and breads to maintain fresh inventory for travelers stopping at travel centers. Travelers rely on these baked items as quick snacks during long commutes or professional drives. The role focuses on meeting preparation standards using ovens and packaging equipment to ensure products meet company safety guidelines. Deli bakers contribute to a seamless service at sites where guests grab coffee or snacks for ongoing journeys.
Pilot Flying J operates over 500 travel centers across the United States, specializing in fuel and convenience services including delis and restaurants. The company serves millions of guests annually, including truck drivers needing showers and commuters seeking morning fuel stops. Pilot Flying J emphasizes training in multiple roles, allowing delis to rotate staff across fuel discounts and meal prep responsibilities for broader experience in diverse operational areas.
Deli bakers follow process cards to mix dough, bake in convection ovens, and package finished goods using slicers and wrapping machines. They organize bakery shelves and stock ingredients like flour and yeast in coolers to minimize waste. Interactions include handing food to cashiers for transactions and using telephones to confirm orders with delivery drivers. Bakers maintain cleanliness by wiping down counters and disposing of expired products, while adhering to food safety protocols such as using gloves and monitoring temperatures with thermometers. A key constraint involves working flexible shifts including nights and weekends to cover high-traffic periods during holidays or peak travel seasons.
Compensation starts between $15.45 and $21.70 per hour with weekly pay.
