Job Description
Social Misfits is a unique hospitality establishment celebrating diversity, authenticity, and an alternative vibe. Located in Michigan, it offers a distinctive cafe experience centered around the ultimate comfort food: waffles. The brand stands out with its iconic logo, inspired by history's most notable misfits, and delivers an atmosphere reminiscent of a speakeasy, characterized by its cozy, lounge-like aesthetic, romanticism, character, and dark allure. This isn’t just a regular cafe; it’s a destination where guests come for a delicious adventure and exceptional comfort food experience.
At Social Misfits, the menu features both savory and sweet scratch-made waffles prepared from farm-fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Alongside their innovative waffle offerings, the cafe serves locally sourced Michigan maple syrups enhanced with unique flavor infusions, craft cocktails, and premium coffee. They partner with Ferris Coffee Roasting Company to provide farmer-direct, locally roasted, hand-crafted coffee that complements the overall menu. Social Misfits caters to a variety of occasions, from unordinary lunch meetings and extraordinary dinner dates to lively boozy brunches with friends.
The role available at Social Misfits is for a barista position, designed for individuals passionate about hospitality, customer service, and delivering a memorable dining experience. This is an opportunity to join a team that values warm, welcoming service, teamwork, and a genuine connection with guests. Employees are expected to contribute to a positive workplace culture while maintaining high standards of product quality and consistency. Baristas at Social Misfits are tasked with crafting visually appealing and delicious menu items, using local and fresh ingredients, while ensuring all service standards align with the cafe’s reputation for excellence.
The role requires a high school diploma or equivalent, along with previous experience as a barista. Candidates must be able to work flexible hours, including weekends and holidays. Physical stamina is necessary, as the position involves standing for extended periods, bending, lifting up to 35 pounds, and repetitive hand movements. The barista must possess strong interpersonal skills to warmly welcome guests, remember their preferences, and provide efficient, personalized service. Additionally, the role demands competency in operating a point-of-sale system, maintaining inventory and supplies responsibly, and communicating effectively with team members and management to resolve issues and enhance the customer experience.
