About us
Exeter General Store is a bustling destination & neighbourhood cafe in the beautiful village of Exeter in the Southern Highlands. We are passionate about serving consistently delicious coffee and meals, paired with true hospitality from our team.
We offer team members an organised and positive place to work. You will be joining a well-established, collaborative and supportive team environment and be able to develop long-term relationships with a community of regular customers.
We are looking for enthusiastic people to join our team and provide our customers with a great cafe experience.
Barista All-Rounder
We have positions for both experienced and new barista all-rounders across our 7-day operation. As a barista, you will focus on making high quality coffees using Single O coffee. When not making coffee, you'll work with other team members to serve customers at the POS and tables. Specialty barista experience will be well regarded but is not essential. Higher rates available for an experienced barista with demonstrated skills.
Comprehensive structured training will be provided, with ongoing coaching from skilled baristas and hospitality operators. You will also be trained and work in our Licensed Post Office, which operates as part of the store and the one team. May suit either a recent school leaver looking to make a start or an experienced barista/host looking to make their next move in hospitality. Either way we will provide you with plenty of training and opportunities to grow.
Shift Lead
There is also the opportunity to become a store shift lead once your experience and skills are ready and it is something you are interested in pursuing. For some experienced candidates you may be ready now. We are looking for an experienced barista and confident communicator to lead daily cafe & post office operation.
You may be an experienced specialty barista who is ready to take the next step in your hospitality career, or an experienced front-line leader looking for a fun team environment and keen to develop your skills further. In this hands-on role you will be captain of the team on shift:
- leading by example as a skilled barista/all-rounder
- operating the post office (following a training period)
- leading the on-shift team to deliver a consistently great customer experience and outstanding coffee & food using established systems and proactive communication
- opening/closing the store including daily reporting
- helping to train other team members, providing guidance and troubleshooting to run a safe and smooth service
- working closely with hands-on owner/managers to improve the guest and team experience
