This position demands flexibility, including availability for morning shifts, weekends, and holidays as needed. The work environment encourages a team-oriented attitude, requiring you to have the stamina to stand for long periods and undertake physical tasks such as lifting and moving items up to 50 pounds. Previous experience in a coffee shop or food service setting is preferred but not mandatory, making it an excellent entry-level opportunity for anyone passionate about hospitality and food service.

Overall, being a Coffee Shop Attendant at this boutique café is not just about serving coffee; it is about creating an exceptional guest experience that promotes return visits and positive word-of-mouth.
