The Role

We are looking for an energetic, reliable, and hospitality-focused Coffee Cart Barista to operate and maintain a workplace coffee cart experience for our client.

This position is different from a traditional café Barista role. In addition to preparing high-quality espresso and coffee beverages, the Coffee Cart Barista is responsible for the daily setup, operation, replenishment, cleaning, and breakdown of a self-contained coffee cart.

Because the coffee cart is not directly connected to a permanent water source, this role requires additional hands-on responsibilities, including filling, transporting, and replacing water containers used to operate the cart throughout service.

• This role will also support additional Hospitality Porter responsibilities for clients throughout the Toronto area as needed

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure the espresso machine, grinders, refrigeration, water system, and other equipment are ready for operation
• Stock cups, lids, milk, alternative milks, coffee, syrups, teas, napkins, and other service supplies
• Monitor inventory throughout the shift and replenish products as needed
• Maintain an organized backstock area and communicate inventory needs before products run out
• Complete closing procedures and properly secure and organize the cart at the end of service
• Keeping the cart's water supply and wastewater areas clean and sanitary
• Clean and sanitize the espresso machine, steam wands, grinders, pitchers, tools, counters, sinks, and service areas
• Wash and organize dishes and reusable equipment throughout the shift
• Remove trash, recycling, coffee grounds, and other waste as needed
• Receive and organize coffee, milk, supplies, and other deliveries when required
• Rotate products using FIFO (First In, First Out) procedures
• Check expiration dates and product quality
• Report low inventory, damaged equipment, maintenance concerns, or product issues to management promptly

Porter Responsibilities

• Assist our on-site Hospitality Porter team with restocking, cleaning & organizing, and other general duties to prepare client break room spaces for the business day.

Requirements

• Hospitality, Customer Service, & Barista Experience
• Ability to arrive on-time at our client's office each day
  • Potential to travel between multiple client sites to provide support
• Standing and walking for extended periods
• Frequently bending, reaching, twisting, and moving around the coffee cart
• Moving and replenishing water containers throughout the shift
• Transporting product and supplies between storage areas and the coffee cart
