The Ideal Candidate
You are someone who enjoys interacting with people and takes pride in creating a great customer experience. You don't wait to be told what needs to be done. You notice when the café is getting busy, when stock is running low or when something needs attention, and you take action.
Because this location is operated independently, initiative, reliability, problem-solving and the ability to stay organized without direct supervision are essential.
