Job description

We’re looking for a Cafe Manager who can do more than run the floor.

We want someone who can read the room.

Someone who sees when a guest needs a warm smile or when a barista needs a hand steaming milk. Someone who knows the difference between being busy and being alive.

You’ll be the bridge between kitchen, counter, and community — turning daily service into an act of art and care.

What You’ll Do

• Lead our service team with confidence, humour, and kindness.
• Create a rhythm on the floor — service that flows, smiles that linger, and conversations that feel genuine.
• Work closely with our chefs and baristas to make sure food, coffee, and service tell one story.
• Keep the operations sharp: shift plans, back of house set up, and guest feedback.
• Anticipate needs before they’re spoken — from a water refill to a team pep talk.

You’ll Fit Right In If You

• Believe hospitality isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection.
• Know that a good sandwich can fix bad moods and good music can fix worse ones.
• Have 1-2 years of experience managing a café (but more importantly, you’ve loved doing it).
• Have basic experience with google sheets and POS handling.
• Can stay calm in the chaos.
• Are excited to grow with a brand that’s growing — one sandwich, one story, one guest at a time.

The Vibe at Work

• You’ll be working with a passionate kitchen (and pastry) team that lives and breathes craft.
• There are playlists, early mornings, regulars who know your name, and days that end with coffee and full hearts.

What You’ll Get

• A leadership role in a creative, evolving hospitality brand.
• Freedom to experiment, to host, to bring ideas to the table.
• Competitive pay + performance bonuses
• Complimentary lunch and daily coffee/beverage.
• Health insurance coverage. Free medical checks and cashless insurance.
• Growth across our new outlets — if you want to build something lasting, this is the place.

Bonus points: If you add a short note about the most meaningful guest experience you’ve ever created (or received).

We care less about titles. More about taste, tone, and heart.
