What we're looking for
Proven barista experience in a high-volume café (1+ year preferred)
Genuinely strong customer service — friendly, warm and switched-on
Confident dialling in grinders and holding consistency across a shift
Solid milk work and latte art
Comfortable with basic food prep and toasting
Calm, fast and reliable under pressure
Availability across weekdays and weekends, including early mornings
A food safety / food handler certificate (or willingness to obtain one)

A clear pathway to a management role for the right person
