You'll spend most of your time producing consistently excellent coffee, while also helping with customer service, café food and the daily flow of the espresso bar.

Maintain speed and composure during busy service periods

Strong espresso,



extraction and milk-texturing skills
The ability to produce quality coffee quickly and consistently
A warm, confident approach to customer service
An organised and calm working style during peak periods
A willingness to assist with food, counter service and cleaning
Pride in presentation, cleanliness and attention to detail
A reliable, team-first attitude
Availability across 3–4 days, including weekends
We value experience, but we don't expect you to know everything on day one.
We want someone with strong foundations, a desire to improve and the right attitude toward customers and teammates.
