Restaurant Associates has an enviable track record, working with some of the most prestigious venues and corporations in the world. From grand gala events, corporate cocktail parties to intimate gatherings, we provide bespoke food solutions and exceptional dining experiences.

We want someone excited by great coffee, trending drinks, cold foams, cold-pressed juices, made-to-order sandwiches and salads, seasonal specials, and trying new ideas.

Someone who notices the little things, takes pride in presentation, builds relationships with clients, and creates a team culture that’s fun, energetic, and supportive.

You’ll be leading from the front, whether that’s jumping on the coffee machine during the morning rush, helping the team with setup and prep, chatting with regulars, or bringing new concepts to life.

  • Building rapport with regular customers and corporate stakeholders
  • Leading, mentoring, and motivating the team (team of 4–5)
  • Maintaining high standards across coffee, food presentation, cleanliness, and service
  • Helping create a positive, fun team culture people want to be part of
  • Supporting ordering, stock control, rostering, POS, coffee machine cleaning, and coordinating servicing/maintenance

THE PERSON

  • Previous café leadership or management experience, minimum 3+ years
  • Strong barista experience is essential
  • Someone hands-on who leads by example
  • High attention to detail and pride in presentation
  • A genuine passion for hospitality and customer experience
  • Positive energy, initiative, and strong communication skills
  • Someone creative who enjoys trying new things and building concepts
  • Ability to build a strong, supportive, high-performing team
  • Strong computer skills (POS, rostering, ordering/inventory systems, and Microsoft Office)

THE BENEFITS

  • Easy access to 100+ retail discounts
  • Opportunity to learn new skills and move to different internal roles
  • Access to a wide variety of training & development
  • Work life balance
  • Clear career paths and support to achieve your goals
  • Opportunity to build something exciting
  • Supportive team environment
  • A café focused on quality, innovation, and experience
