Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Allpress Espresso Ltd Full time
Overview

About Allpress: we are espresso specialists, roasting and serving beautiful coffee in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Japan and Singapore. We're a team of dedicated people who believe in flavour first and care deeply about our customers.

About the role

We're looking for two Café Managers to join our Brisbane team: one to lead our established café and another to help launch our brand-new café space later this year.

Both roles are hands-on leadership positions responsible for the smooth day-to-day running of the café. You'll have a strong floor presence during peak times to lead by example and support the team, while overseeing operations across FOH, kitchen and bar. Working closely with our Head Barista and kitchen lead, you'll create a welcoming space where exceptional hospitality, team culture and operational excellence come together.

These are full-time, Mon – Fri roles, with daytime hours of work.

  • Existing café role: ideally starting mid-September
  • New café role: starting late October/early November, in line with the venue opening
In this role, you will
  • Lead, coach, and support FOH, kitchen, and bar teams to deliver outstanding service
  • Set and maintain high standards for hospitality, presentation, and customer care
  • Manage rosters, operational processes, and budgets to ensure smooth service and financial performance
  • Be a visible, calm leader on the floor during busy service periods
  • Maintain compliance with food safety, hygiene and OH&S standards
  • Partner with national support teams and follow operational frameworks to keep the café aligned with Allpress brand values
  • Handle customer feedback with empathy and accountability, turning challenges into opportunities to build trust
About you

We're looking for hospitality leaders who thrive in a busy environment, lead with positivity, and have a genuine passion for both people and coffee. You'll be organised, approachable, and experienced in balancing team culture, customer experience, and operational systems.

To be successful, you'll bring
  • Proven experience as a café manager or in a senior hospitality leadership role
  • Strong team leadership skills with the ability to coach, motivate and manage performance
  • A hands-on approach, with the confidence to lead from the floor during service
  • Excellent organisational skills, including rostering and operational systems management
  • Knowledge of food safety and OH&S standards
  • A passion for hospitality and creating inclusive, customer-focused spaces
Working at Allpress

In addition to great company culture, we offer some nice staff perks including as much free coffee as you like while at work, 250g of beans to take home weekly, a free and confidential Employee Assistance Program, and a Wellbeing allowance.

Diversity and Inclusion

Allpress is committed to being an inclusive organisation where all people feel valued, respected and engaged. We pledge a commitment to:

  • Building inclusive teams that represent all groups in society
  • Empowering our people to continuously improve the way we work and promote equity
  • Removing biases and changing the influence of bias
  • Creating a safe environment where we're encouraged to speak out against discrimination in any form
  • Cultivating a sense of belonging by encouraging our people to fearlessly bring their whole selves to work
