  • Crafting quality coffees and delivering an excellent customer experience
  • Building strong relationships with customers and creating a welcoming caf environment
  • Building strong relationships with the client and key stakeholders, acting as the face of the caf and ensuring the offer continues to meet their needs and expectations
  • Managing stock, ordering, wastage and daily administration
  • Looking for opportunities to increase sales, improve the offer and maximise profitability
  • Ensuring high standards of food safety, cleanliness and compliance
  • Opening and closing the caf independently

What we’re looking for

We’re keen to speak with people who have experience in cafs, coffee shops, delis, hospitality or food retail environments and who are passionate about delivering great food and service.

You’ll be:

  • A confident self-starter who thrives working independently
  • Previous experience in a similar role
  • Passionate about coffee, food and creating memorable customer experiences
  • Competent in food preparation and light cooking
  • Commercially minded with an eye for growing sales and enhancing the customer offer
  • Organised, reliable and comfortable managing stock and administration
  • A strong communicator who can build positive relationships with customers and clients
  • Someone who takes pride in creating a clean, safe and welcoming environment
  • Motivated to make the caf a destination people genuinely want to visit
