Job description

About the role

Tea is brewing. Café doors are opening. The day is about to start, and so are our café team members. They’re the talented people making every day a little better for our customers. Now, you can join them. As a Team Member in our café, you're part of everything - a bit of cooking, a bit of chatting with customers, and a lot of impact. As someone dedicated to great service, you’ll make sure that every dish you prepare and serve lives up to the promise of our menu and meets all safety standards. Along with this, you’ll help keep everything, from kitchen equipment to customer tables tidy and clean. It’s a lively role, full of everyday challenges, but that’s just one of the reasons it’s so exciting. A few other reasons include flexible working hours, opportunities for progression and so much more. It’s our policy to offer new colleagues joining us a minimum of 8 guaranteed hours each week. The table shows the periods of time in the week we’d like you to be available to work - the availability windows. We will schedule your contracted hours within these times, and you’ll have 3 weeks’ notice of exactly when your shifts will be. We are happy to support flexibility for our colleagues, therefore if the times you’re available to work match closely but not exactly to the times we are advertising, we’d still love to hear from you. Please note that you need to be 18 or over to apply for this role.

• Keeping kitchen equipment and utensils clean and tidy.

• Preparing, cooking, and serving food according to our café’s delicious menu.
• Making sure we maintain our standards and all food products are available.
• Knowing our café’s menu inside and out and serving food exactly as it’s intended.
• Resolving customer complaints and passing on information to the Café Manager.
• Staying up-to-date with business communications and exciting new initiatives.
• Clearing and sanitising tables so our café stays clean.
