JobCroissant's Take
This PASTRY CHEF role at Bon Appétit in Santa Monica presents a solid professional opportunity, especially for candidates with high-volume pastry experience who value working within an established, sustainability-minded company. The full-time, Monday to Friday schedule and the stated pay range of $27–$32/hour are clear advantages for those seeking predictable hours and a competitive hourly wage in the Los Angeles area. The position emphasizes artisanal standards and from-scratch preparation, which is attractive for chefs who take pride in traditional techniques, quality ingredients, and food craftsmanship. Working in a commissary environment offers exposure to large-scale production, menu planning and cost control responsibilities, which can broaden operational skills and leadership experience. Bon Appétit’s focus on socially and environmentally responsible sourcing and inclusion signals a positive workplace culture and potential access to company-wide training and benefits. Candidates should note the preference for 3 to 5 years of similar experience and that schedule specifics are to be discussed at interview, which may affect work-life balance considerations. For a pastry professional seeking growth in a reputable, values-driven organization while practicing artisanal methods at scale, this could be a very good fit.
