  • Answering guest questions about the menu and making recommendations.
  • Ensuring guests receive a warm and professional experience from arrival to departure.

All Rounder Duties

  • Supporting colleagues across the café during busy services.
  • Helping with food and drink preparation when required.
  • Restocking the bar, coffee station and front-of-house areas.
  • Maintaining high standards of cleanliness throughout the café.
  • Following food safety, hygiene and company procedures.
  • Working efficiently as part of a team to maintain smooth service.

About You

We are looking for someone who has:

  • Solid professional experience as a Barista, ideally in a specialty coffee environment.
  • Good knowledge of specialty coffee and espresso preparation.
  • Confidence dialling in coffee and working with a commercial espresso machine.
  • Strong milk-steaming and latte art skills.
  • Previous front-of-house / table service experience.
  • Excellent customer service and communication skills.
  • The ability to remain calm and organised during busy services.
  • A positive, friendly and professional attitude.
  • Good attention to detail and pride in the quality of your work.
  • The flexibility to work across different areas of the café as an all rounder.
  • The ability to work well as part of a team.

The Ideal Candidate

This role would suit an experienced barista who doesn’t want to be limited to the coffee machine and enjoys the interaction and variety of working in a busy café environment.

If you are passionate about specialty coffee, confident with customers and enjoy being part of a team, we would love to hear from you.
