• Keep the store clean, organized, stocked and ready for service

• Communicate clearly with the team and Head Office

Who You Are

You love coffee, care about people and care about doing a great job.

You know how to lead a team, keep the day moving and help create a workplace where people enjoy what they do. You are comfortable jumping in where needed and you understand that good cafe management is part people, part product, part systems and part teamwork.

You like building things. A good shift. A strong team. A new cafe finding its place in a new city.
