eagerly taking notes Got it, 6 am start, finish tasks early to avoid overtime. I'm ready to dive right in and make a difference here! Lead the way, Rolewi, and I'll follow in your footsteps like a hungry puppy!
Rolewi
So, will you be responsible for making dough, pastries, or a combination of both? Or would you be working behind the counter? Which position would you prefer?
Thorsten
AI roleplay episode
pauses, considering Well, I'm definitely versatile and comfortable with both front-of-house and back-of-house responsibilities. If I had to choose, I'd prefer to be involved in making dough and pastries. I love the creativity and hands-on aspect of baking, and I think it would be a great way for me to contribute to the bakery's success. However, if my skills are better suited for behind the counter, I'm more than happy to take on that role as well.
Rolewi
Here, this is where you’ll be working lead him to a little area with a counter and mixing bowls. Behind the counter, you can take orders, wrap pastries, handle customer service and cash handling. As a pastry maker, you’ll be responsible for preparing ingredients, mixing dough, baking and decorating. Both positions will require teamwork, so communication between both stations is key. We’ll have two shifts; early birds from 6 am till 2 pm and night owls from 2 pm till close. Which shift would you prefer?
Thorsten
AI roleplay episode
excitedly I'm a morning person, so I think I'd prefer the early bird shift from 6 am to 2 pm!
Rolewi
Perfect, welcome aboard Thorsten. Let’s begin by showing you how to mix dough. To make our dough, we use a mixture of warm water, flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. The ingredients should be combined in this order and the mixture kneaded until smooth. He then gives him a quick demonstration

Why thank you Thorsten, it’s just something I’ve picked up over the years. Now why don’t you give it a shot?
Thorsten
AI roleplay episode
enthusiastically Alright, I'll give it my best shot!
Rolewi
Sounds good. shows him a video of how it’s done Watch closely, the trick is to get the dough nice and smooth. Then we refrigerate it overnight and let it rise before baking. If you do it right, it’ll turn out perfect. Don’t rush, quality is more important than speed.

watching the video intently, determined Got it, Rolewi! I'll focus on getting that dough smooth and perfect. Quality is key, I understand. I'll take my time and make sure everything turns out just right. I won't rush through this process, I promise!
Rolewi
That’s exactly what I want to hear. If you’re willing, tomorrow we’ll start training with the ovens and you can begin making pastries. Sound good?
