A busy café, a outstanding team and a Monday to Friday roster. We’re looking for a hands-on Café Manager to lead a busy Canberra site. This is a great opportunity for someone who loves being on the floor, knows how to get the best out of a team and can bring fresh energy to a venue with plenty of potential. You’ll lead a team ~6, including an experienced Assistant Manager, across a fast-paced mix of coffee, fresh food and takeaway service. The team is capable and ready for a manager who will support them, set clear expectations and keep things running smoothly.
What you’ll be doing:
- Leading service and working alongside the team each day
- Coaching staff and building a positive, accountable culture
- Managing rosters, ordering, receipting and day-to-day processes
- Keeping standards high across service, food safety and WHS
- Finding practical ways to improve the customer experience and grow the venue
- You’ll have support from an operations team while also having the autonomy to run your site. Approx 80% ops / 20% admin.
What we’re looking for:
- You’ve managed a café or similar fast-paced venue and are confident with coffee, service and the operational side of the business. You’re warm, upbeat and approachable, but comfortable having the conversations needed to maintain standards.
- Most of all, you enjoy being present with your team rather than managing from behind a desk.
