We are looking for an enthusiastic & experienced additional member of staff to join our friendly, family-run rural cafe (Coffee & Cake) located in Clayhill Vineyard. You'll find us in the rural heart of the Crouch Valley, known for our river views, warm welcome, relaxed atmosphere, home-baked goods, light lunches, and hot & cold drinks.
You will need to maintain a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, greeting each customer in a polite & friendly manner. The ability to step into various roles is essential, including opening & setting the coffee equipment, food prep, baking skills (advantageous), cleaning on the go, stock checking, taking orders, serving food & drinks, and closing down (ensuring customers vacate quietly before cleaning and resetting the cafe for the following morning).
To assist the owners and other team members in supervising staff and running the shift (this will include dealing with customers & any issues that may arise). Quick thinking, a positive attitude, and good observation are a must.
No experience necessary; all training can be given in-house. A practical, positive, proactive person would easily fill this role. However, applicants with greater experience in managing daily tasks for the smooth running of the cafe will score highly. Responsibilities include exceptional customer service to encourage returning & new customers, promoting daily menu specials and events (e.g., updating cafe boards, social media posts, posters), and identifying/exploring opportunities that could add value to the cafe. Maintenance of daily hygiene, food hygiene & health & safety in the cafe, including stock checking & record-keeping, is also required. Wages will reflect this experience.
Applicants must be able to work Saturdays from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. There is currently the option to take on an additional day on Sundays. We also hold monthly special evening events, and these extra hours are offered to all staff.
Wages start at £9.50 to £11.50 depending on experience, with a review after month one.
Further detailed information is available on request.
