- Taking orders and handling payments accurately
- Keeping the café clean, tidy, and welcoming at all times
- Being flexible with hours and willing to work weekdays, evenings, and weekends as needed
- Being open to taking on a supervisor role and additional responsibilities as the café grows

**Perks of the Job**:

- Supportive, down-to-earth, fun and relaxed working environment
- Flexible hours where possible
- Paid lunch and free food on shift
- Free drinks on shift + 50% staff discount while working
- 25% off when not on shift
- Family and friends discount
- Opportunity to take on responsibility in a growing, independent café

**Benefits**:

- Discounted or free food
- Employee discount
- Free parking
