Saturdays is a specialty coffee bar inside an online banana bread business. The Dural cafe is our shop and our dispatch point, and the coffee is what locals come for.
We do two things and do them exceptionally well. The bread took two years and a team of food scientists, and the Sydney Morning Herald wrote about it. The coffee was built the same way. Every step from bean to cup has a written process behind it, from dialling in each morning to how the milk is textured and how the bar is set up, so every cup tastes the way it should, every time. Nothing here is average on purpose.
Online is where we are growing. Whoever holds the standard at this bar runs the next one.
The role
You are the senior person on the floor and second in charge to the store manager. Coffee is the core of the job, but you will run the shift, help lead a small team, and be trained to bake our product.
You will know you are doing the job well when the coffee tastes right every time, service stays quick when it is busy, the team pours to the same standard you do, the regulars keep coming back, and the bar is clean and the gear is looked after.
Coffee
Own how our coffee tastes. Dial in each morning, taste it through the day, notice when something is off and fix it before the customer does
Own our written coffee recipes and standards. Keep them current, and make sure the whole team pours to them so a coffee from anyone here tastes the same as one from you
Run the machine independently and keep milk texture and presentation consistent on every cup
Look after the rest of the drinks too: tea, chai, matcha,



hot chocolate and any specials we run
Manage coffee stock, milks and consumables, place orders with the manager, and keep wastage down
Clean and maintain the machine and grinders to our daily and weekly schedule
Running the shift
Open and close the shop to our checklists, including cash handling and end-of-day reporting
