About Us

At 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 are looking for a Head Barista to lead the day-to-day coffee operations in our Melbourne café. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role where you'll set and maintain the highest standards of coffee quality, while fostering a positive team culture that reflects the Allpress brand.

As the Head Barista, you'll act as the coffee lead within the venue; driving quality and consistency across every shift, supporting barista development, and playing a key leadership role on the floor. You'll also step into a supervisory capacity when the Venue Manager is not present.

About you

We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced service environment and has a genuine passion for coffee and people. You'll be an experienced barista who leads by example and enjoys mentoring others, with a strong eye for detail and consistency.

Qualifications

- Proven experience as a senior or lead barista in a busy café environment
- Confidence in leading a team on shift and setting the pace of service
- Strong understanding of calibration, recipe consistency, and workflow management
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with FOH and kitchen teams
- A calm, supportive leadership style and ability to mentor junior team members
- A passion for hospitality and creating exceptional customer experiences

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 barriers and 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
