* Strong barista skills and a genuine love for specialty coffee and local produce.

* Proven experience with rostering platforms (e.g., Deputy, Tanda) and POS systems (e.g., Square, Lightspeed).

* solid understanding of venue P&L, wage control, and inventory management.

* Excellent communication skills with a hands-on, lead-by-example leadership style.

* Full working rights in Australia and flexibility to work weekends and early morning shifts.

What We Offer

* Competitive salary based on experience ($70,000–$80,000 + super).

* Daytime hours (no late nights).

*Great perks including discounted meals and free specialty coffee on shift.

* A supportive owner who values your input and autonomy to run the venue.
