Who This Is For:

This role is not for everyone.

We re looking for someone who is drawn to coffee in their own way and takes pride in connecting with people around a shared experience. We recommend you enjoy interacting with others and understand that connection takes effort. It requires awareness, timing, and the ability to read a moment.

You would be a great fit if you are comfortable working quickly, staying organized under pressure, and maintaining a high standard even when the line is long.

Reliability is non-negotiable. Early mornings (it is a coffee biz), some physical work, and consistent execution are part of the role.

You understand that people come for the coffee, but return because of the people behind the counter. Familiarity with the Bay Area's hospitality/food scene is a plus.
