A Brisbane café is looking for a manager who can pull a good espresso and also run a tight operation. The job covers leading baristas and floor staff, planning rosters, watching stock and costs, and keeping customers happy.
There is room to put your stamp on the menu, specials and drinks list, and to organise live entertainment, pop-ups and private events that keep regulars coming back. The employer is looking for a credible work history with real barista skill behind it.
