Free Bakery Org Chart Template
A retail bakery splits two ways: an overnight production team led by the Head Baker, and a daytime retail team led by the Front of House Manager. Both report up to the owner. Wholesale-heavy bakeries add a separate Wholesale Manager for B2B accounts.

Frequently asked questions
How is a bakery org chart different from a restaurant?
Bakeries are production-led, not service-led. The Head Baker runs the overnight production team and reports peer-level with the FOH Manager. In a restaurant, the kitchen reports up through service hours; in a bakery, the kitchen runs ahead of service.
Do bakeries need a separate wholesale role?
Once wholesale accounts pass about 20 percent of revenue, a dedicated Wholesale Manager pays for itself. Below that, the Head Baker handles wholesale ordering directly.
How many bakers does a small retail bakery need?
A single-location retail bakery doing about 1 million in revenue usually runs with 3 to 5 bakers under one Head Baker, plus a part-time decorator for cakes.
