Pastry Chef

Job Location:

Avani Riverside Bangkok Hotel

At Avani, we’re all about finding that perfect balance — between cool and kind, design and function, service and privacy. We’ve built our hotels and resorts around this philosophy: vibrant social spaces that vibe with the day, stylish rooms that simply work, and honest, locally inspired food. We embrace an upbeat service culture that genuinely respects the art of hospitality.

With a growing portfolio across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Australia, Avani is a brand on the move. If you take real pride in the little things — and believe that a warm welcome and a genuine smile make all the difference — you’ll fit right in here.

The Pastry Chef is responsible for leading pastry operations across two properties, developing and delivering creative, high-quality pastry, bakery, and dessert offerings that align with brand standards. This position ensures consistent product quality, presentation, and operational excellence while maintaining the highest standards of food safety, hygiene, quality control, and cost and waste management across both properties.

The role also drives culinary innovation by creating new pastry concepts inspired by market trends and guest preferences, while coaching and developing pastry teams, identifying high-potential talent, and supporting succession planning to build a strong and sustainable pastry operation.

Qualifications

• Diploma or Bachelor's Degree in Culinary Arts, Pastry Arts, Hospitality Management, or a related field.
• Over 5-10 years of pastry experience in luxury hotels or high-volume hospitality operations, including at least 3 years in a senior role.
• Experience managing pastry operations across multiple outlets or properties.
• Expertise in pastry, bakery, chocolate, confectionery, plated desserts, artisan breads, and showpiece creations.
• Strong leadership, coaching, and team development skills with the ability to drive innovation and maintain brand standards.
• Knowledge of food cost control, production planning, inventory management, waste reduction, HACCP, and food safety standards.
• Strong organizational, communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
• Professional certifications, competition achievements, or industry awards are an advantage.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office and hotel inventory, purchasing, and recipe management systems.
• Good command of spoken and written English.

Remark:

This is a complex role responsible for overseeing operations across two hotels: Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort and Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel.
