Job description

Toby started roasting in his Mum’s garage in Woolloomooloo nearly 30 years ago, and there’s been a change or two along the way. These days, Toby has left the building, but we've welcomed three new cafes to the fold – Newstead in Brisbane, Fitzroy in Melbourne and an outpost in Singapore, and our Chippendale Flagship cafe won best coffee shop in the world in 2025 (and top 5 in 2026). We’re exploding on the international scene too, not to mention licensees and roasteries in nine countries, and counting. But the DNA hasn’t changed – we are leaders in specialty coffee for a reason.

As leaders in specialty coffee, our standards are high and we believe in training the crew to build with us. We start with good people, with great attitudes - and develop them (sometimes into national champions)!

We understand that work and life exist in harmony, and are balanced by a love of hospitality and great coffee.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has hospitality oozing through their veins!
• Wears a smile from ear to ear, someone who loves delivering a high quality of service day-in and day-out - with a passion for coffee to boot.
• Holds a genuine love for coffee and the hospitality industry and is eager to share their knowledge and experience.
• Is enthusiastic, friendly, and able to build strong relationships.
• Demonstrates strong communication skills with staff and guests, remains focused under pressure, and can work effectively at pace when required.

What's on offer:

Joining our business means immersing yourself in the world of coffee and leveraging exciting learning opportunities across our business. Our commitment to your growth includes career development and a focus on your wellbeing! You’ll enjoy the perks of coffee on tap and beans to take home, keeping you connected to the craft we’re passionate about.

Day to day in this role you will:

• Work alongside our existing team to ensure that every cup of coffee and plate of food that leaves our hands meets the same high-quality standard.
• Take orders and operate the POS.
• Provide an excellent experience to our Toby’s customers.

This is a casual role, estimated to be working 2-3 days, 15 hours per week at our Fitzroy cafe.
