Job Description

Looking for someone to work 2 -3 days a week.
Job Overview:
We're a small, vibrant café tucked inside a beautiful business building atrium—think lush greenery and natural light all day while you work. Since opening in 2016, we've built a loyal following with our take-out lunch, espresso drinks, and boba. We're proudly woman-owned with a tight-knit team.

Responsibilities Prepare and serve a variety of coffee beverages, teas, and food items according to established recipes and standards. Operate the cash register and manage transactions accurately using the POS system. Maintain cleanliness and organization of the work area, ensuring compliance with food safety regulations. Provide excellent customer service by engaging with customers, taking orders, and addressing any inquiries or concerns. Demonstrate time management skills to efficiently handle multiple orders during peak hours. Assist in inventory management by monitoring stock levels of supplies and ingredients.
