• Help prepare or adjust the team schedule and step in to cover shifts when manning is short.
• Act as kitchen-in-charge and take over the Chief Baker's core responsibilities when the Chief Baker is on leave or unavailable.
• Relay assignments and updates between the Chief Baker, outlet manager, and team; respond to instructions promptly.
• Remain fully hands-on in production alongside Bakers and Junior Bakers.
