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, fast 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 solid 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
