One shift you're dialling in the grinder at 6am. The next you're firing the line through a full brunch service. We need someone genuinely good at both.
If you love the buzz of a busy morning service, take pride in excellent customer experiences, and want to help shape the new local favourite — this one’s for you.
Banksia Burwood is the kind of local cafe where the regulars have a usual order — and the team knows it by heart. We're part of Neighbourhood Venue Group operating in Melbourne's south-east, which means real systems, real support, and room to move as we grow.
The role
We're after a unicorn: an all-rounder equally at home on the espresso machine and the stove top. You'll split your time between front and back of house — and own both.
A typical week looks like:
- Making consistently excellent coffee — dialled in, not templated
- Producing high-quality cafe meals
- Working the floor when service demands it.
- Prep, stock rotation, and keeping both spaces food-safe and spotless
- Opening and closing duties
What we need
- Solid barista experience on a commercial machine — latte art is a nice bonus; consistency is non-negotiable
- Real cook or chef experience in a busy cafe or bistro kitchen
- Full working rights in Australia
What you get
- Staff meals and coffee on every shift (obviously)
- Rosters you can actually plan a life around
- A team that backs each other — we promote from within across the group
