Descrizione del lavoro

Eleanors is Potts Point’s all-day local sanctuary - blending the warmth of a Mediterranean taverna, European bistro, and classic Australian corner shop. We operate seamlessly across three day-parts, starting strong at 7am with exceptional coffee, and delicious eats before transitioning into lunchtime sandwiches and evening tap wines.

We’re looking for a sharp, speed-focused, and warm Head Barista to anchor our high-volume morning engine and set the tone for our local community.

The Coffee Program

We’re proud to partner with Black Market Roasters, pulling high-grade specialty coffee engineered for consistency, balance, and high-volume performance. As Head Barista, you’ll take full operational ownership of this partnership, maintaining exacting extraction standards and serving as the primary face of our morning trade.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the Bench: Drive high-volume morning coffee service with speed, precision, and consistency across both takeaway counter trade and seated dine-in.
• Set the Standard: Dial in our beans daily, adjust extraction parameters throughout service, and ensure drinks are consistently top-tier.
• Drive Workflow & Speed: Manage peak-hour workflow, coordinate with your support barista/milk hand, and keep ticket times under 3 minutes during heavy rushes.
• Manage Stock & Ops: Handle coffee bean orders, monitor milk pars, and manage barista consumables to keep milk waste low and margins tight.
• Equipment Maintenance: Perform daily, weekly, and monthly machine maintenance, and cleaning routines to keep our setup in prime condition.
• Build Community: Recognise our local regulars, learn their orders, and create a genuine, upbeat neighbourhood vibe at the front counter.

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years experience as a Senior or Head Barista in high-volume, fast-paced Sydney venues.
• Proven speed and volume handling - cool under pressure when the ticket printer is pumping during peak trade.
• Technical expertise in dialing in espresso, managing grinder calibration, and equipment care.
• Strong communication and leadership skills - able to direct a second barista/milk hand cleanly during rushes.
• Pride in presentation - clean bench work, consistent latte art, and high hygiene standards.
• A natural host persona - friendly, reliable, and excited to build rapport with Potts Point locals.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary package based on experience.
• Straight day shifts - daytime hours with no late night kitchen/bar closes required for this role.
• Direct support and training from our partners at Black Market Roasters.
• High-grade equipment and premium beans.
• Great staff perks, meals, and real input into building a neighbourhood landmark from the ground up.
