Roberto Mendoza

Pastry Chef
Arbuckle,CA

Summary

Back in 2002 when I first started in Cache Creek as a cashier, I was inspired by one of the executive pastry chefs who recommended me to enroll in a school of pastry arts, and from there my passion for pastries ignited. Now in 2021, I am in the position where I wanted to be, directing a pastry team. Acting as the interim executive pastry chef when we did not have an executive pastry chef for two months, which I found to be an experience equally challenging and rewarding. I currently delegate tasks to my crew and ensure that before the product leaves the bakery, it meets quality and guest satisfaction. In a high- volume and fast-paced environment with and current understaffed crew, I ensure that every team member has the ingredients they need on a daily basis and every task is accomplished to completion.
