Join the "Tribe" at Melto! Are you a coffee lover with a flair for hospitality? We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Barista / Front of House Specialist to join our premium cafe and dessert lounge. At Melto, we don't just serve coffee; we roast our specialty beans in-house and craft high-end dessert experiences.

In this role, you will be the face of Melto, delivering exceptional service in a vibrant, stylish environment. Whether you are pouring the perfect latte art during the morning rush or serving artisan crepes and fresh juices in the evening, your passion for quality will create an atmosphere where guests feel valued and eager to return.

Duties

• Master the Brew: Prepare and serve a variety of specialty coffee beverages using our in-house roasted beans, ensuring elite quality and latte art standards.
• Mix & Create: Prepare fresh juices, signature milkshakes, and specialty non-alcoholic drinks following Melto’s unique recipes.

• Maintain Excellence: Keep the cafe and bar area immaculate. Ensure food preparation surfaces, equipment, and seating areas meet our high standards of cleanliness and food safety.
• Team Support: Assist with food handling and the presentation of our artisan waffles, crepes, and brunch items to ensure every plate looks "Instagram-ready."

• Reliability: Ability to work flexible hours, including early mornings (from 7 AM) and late evenings (until 11 PM), weekends, and holidays.
