Hand over cleanly into the lunch/dinner team
About you

You bring pace and calm under a fast breakfast rush
An interest in Vietnamese food helps; good hands and positive habits matter more
About us
Cà Phê Mai is a contemporary Vietnamese cafe by day and a casual wine bar by night, on Kiaora Lane in Double Bay. Mornings run on specialty coffee and bánh mì — a phở gà built on a forty-year family recipe, chicken stock simmered fresh every single day. Evenings turn the room over to small plates and a responsible natural-leaning wine list, but the morning service is where a big chunk of the reputation gets made, one bowl at a time.
Perks
A predictable roster — Tuesday to Friday 10am starts, one weekend day at 7am
A tight, well-resourced kitchen with a Head Chef and Sous Chef who'll actually teach you something
Growth opportunity within a growing company
