We curate a fun, safe, imaginative environment for children ages 0-8 (and their grown-ups) with climbing structures, imaginative play stations, sensory activities, and a hand-crafted beverage & baked-goods café by local bakers. We believe in giving parents a chance to unwind while kids explore, play and have fun. Position Summary We are looking for a friendly, energetic, detail-oriented individual to join our team as a Play Cafe Associate on a part-time basis. This person will split their time between the café counter (preparing and serving beverages/snacks, interacting with customers) and maintaining the play area (ensuring cleanliness, safety, and a welcoming environment). You'll help create a positive experience for families and children, and support the smooth operation of our space. Key Responsibilities Greet guests with a warm welcome as they arrive; assist with check-in procedures (ensuring waiver sign-in, socks policy, etc.). Prepare and serve hand-crafted beverages (coffee, tea, specialty drinks) and baked goods/snacks (from local bakers) in a timely, friendly manner. Operate the point-of-sale (POS) system, handle cash/credit transactions, and maintain accurate records of café sales. Ensure the café counter is clean, organized and stocked (cups, lids, napkins, condiments, snacks). Monitor inventory of café supplies; alert management when items need restocking or ordering. Help maintain appealing presentation of food/drinks, display items attractively, and adhere to food safety & hygiene standards.

Play Area Duties:

Supervise the play space visually—ensuring children are safe, following rules, using grip socks or purchasing socks if needed. Perform routine cleaning and sanitizing of toys, climbing/playing equipment, tables/chairs, and general play-area surfaces. Inspect play structures for safety/maintenance issues, report or record any hazards, broken equipment or needed repairs. Assist in resetting/organizing imaginative play stations or creative/sensory activity zones between sessions or as needed.

Keep the play area tidy:

pick up toys, maintain order, ensure pathways are clear, spills are wiped up promptly. Assist with opening/closing procedures for the play area (sweeping/mopping floors, sanitizing high-touch surfaces, checking for wear & tear). Qualifications & Skills A friendly, outgoing demeanor; strong customer-service orientation. Ability to multitask and shift between café duties and play-area maintenance seamlessly. Comfortable working with children and families; responsible for maintaining a safe environment. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, ability to maintain cleanliness and high standards. Basic food & beverage preparation experience preferred, but not required; training will be provided. Comfortable with point-of-sale systems and handling cash/credit transactions. Ability to stand for extended periods, lift up to ~25 lbs (e.g., supplies, trays), bend/clean/sanitize. Must be available for some weekend shifts (play café hours vary) and flexible scheduling. Must adhere to all health, safety, and sanitation protocols. Schedule & Compensation Part-time role: 10-20 hours Shift hours may include mornings, afternoons, and weekends, depending on business needs.
