Job description

At The Original Pancake House, we don’t just serve food; We delight every guest with an extraordinary breakfast and lunch experience. We believe a perfectly crafted beverage is the cornerstone of a great morning and the highlight of a guest’s day.

How We Work (Our Core Values)

• We Serve Enthusiastically: You are the morning’s "caffeine hero." Whether it’s the first espresso of the day or a mid-day latte, we deliver every drink with a genuine passion for the craft and a warm greeting.
• We Are Driven by Quality and Results: We don’t settle for "good enough." From the precise calibration of the grind to the texture of the micro-foam, we are obsessed with delivering a consistent, high-quality result in every cup.
• We Are "On Stage": The espresso bar is your stage. You work with flair, cleanliness, and precision, knowing that guests enjoy the "performance" of their drinks being handcrafted right before their eyes.
• Hospitality is a Team Sport: You aren't just making drinks; you are supporting the servers and the host. We communicate clearly with the floor team to ensure beverages arrive at the table at the perfect moment.

The Role

As a Barista, you are the specialist behind our beverage program. You balance the technical skill of coffee preparation with the social grace of a hospitality professional.

Key Responsibilities:

• Craft Excellence: Prepare a full range of specialty coffee, tea, and seasonal beverages to our exact standards of quality.
• Stage Presence: Maintain a clean, organized, and visually appealing coffee station while engaging with guests in a friendly, professional manner.
• Efficiency & Results: Manage a high volume of drink tickets during the peak breakfast rush without sacrificing quality or speed.
• The Team Play: Coordinate with the kitchen and service staff to ensure that "the extraordinary experience" is seamless from the first sip to the last bite.

Qualifications

• The "Stage" Factor: A professional, engaging personality with the ability to work efficiently while being observed by guests.
• Passion for Quality: A deep interest in coffee culture and a commitment to mastering the technical aspects of the espresso machine.
• Team-First Attitude: Willingness to step away from the bar to help the team—whether that’s running a plate of food or helping the host—whenever the "sport" requires it.
• Early Birds: Since we specialize in breakfast, you must bring high energy and enthusiasm to those early morning shifts.
