Reporting to the Cafe Manager, you'll own everything coffee: quality in the cup, consistency across every shift, the machine, the grinders, the stock and the team behind the bar. This is a busy, high-volume site in the heart of Sydney Outlet Village, with peak service on weekends.

Key responsibilities

Set and hold the standard on every coffee that leaves the bar

Lead from the machine during peak service — calm, quick and accurate

Manage stock control and ordering (coffee, milk, dairy alternatives, syrups, takeaway supplies) and keep wastage down

Dial in grinders, run daily calibration and manage machine cleaning and maintenance schedules

Train, roster support and mentor junior baristas and floor staff

Take responsibility for opens, closes, cash handling and end-of-shift reporting

Uphold food safety, WHS and cleanliness standards at all times

Deliver genuinely warm customer service and build regulars in a centre full of repeat foot traffic

About you

Minimum 2 years' experience as a barista in a high-volume venue, including time in a senior or lead role

Confident on a multi-group machine with strong milk technique and consistent extraction





Keeping calm under pressure — you keep the bar moving and the team steady when it's flat out

Highly organised, with proven stock control, ordering and wastage management experience

A natural leader who trains by example rather than by instruction

Excellent communication and customer service skills

Strong work ethic, reliable, punctual and takes ownership without being asked

Current Food Safety / food handling certification (or willing to obtain)

Available for weekend work — this is essential, not negotiable
