Barista

FRANÇOIS MAMBOURIN - BARISTA

Part-time | Full-time

We're looking for an experienced specialty coffee barista with leadership skills and excellent communication to join our latest François Café which is now in Mambourin Marketplace.

This is a unique opportunity for a skilled coffee professional to join our rapidly growing organisation while utilising their extensive coffee knowledge to help us cement our brand as a specialty coffee destination.

The product we serve is the barista's focus, but how the guest feels as at every encounter is just as important. We strive for the perfect extraction with a side of genuine connection.

As a barista, you would become a brand ambassador for François and the core values that we represent. The right candidate will be inspired by our values and mission to spread the light and warmth of hospitality, have a demonstrated passion for coffee, and a growth mindset.

Ultimately, the barista would:

• Confidently communicate and showcase our unique coffee offering
• Maintain standards for coffee, guest experience and presentation
• Support a small team to thrive
• Maintain systems and procedures
• Manage stock inventory and wastage

WHO WE ARE

We bring together thoughtful service in an inviting and aesthetically pleasing setting as we strive to minimise our carbon footprint. Our state of the art coffee equipment can only ever so slightly be eclipsed by our specialty award-winning signature blend, individually roasted as single origins daily here in Melbourne, then blended in to achieve the perfect balance. This marries perfectly with our locally-sourced Jersey milk or your favourite alternative milk.

OUR MISSION & VISION

To spread the light & warmth of hospitality across our community – by delivering memorable experiences – every location, every guest, every time

OUR VENUES

We are not a café; we are a specialty coffee destination that is committed to quality. We focus on educating our guests and we invest in their experience. Our goal is complete guest satisfaction.

THE ROLE & BENEFITS

This is the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to pursue a career in coffee but doesn't want competing priorities that are present when working in a bustling cafe. This is the chance to truly do what you love in a coffee-focused environment. The management duties are light due to the small size of the team and targeted offering (small, high-quality food offering). It's all about obsessing over the perfect extraction, building genuine connections and telling the story of François.

• Join a rapidly growing organisation with real career progression opportunities
• Daytime hours
• A permanent position that can be tailored to the right person
• Education, training and upskilling available from our passionate team

IDEAL CANDIDATE

• Dedicated coffee professional
• An understanding of concepts relating to specialty coffee brewing and service
• Able to confidently follow specialty coffee recipes and understand all variables affecting extraction for multiple brew methods including pour-over, batch brew, cold brew and espresso
• Able to confidently dial in coffees every day to taste across filter and espresso
• Ability and desire to self-educate
• High presentation standards
• Problem solver
• Excellent communication skills
• Ambitious
• Run a tight ship with presentation and processes at the forefront
• Ability to build genuine connections
• High personal value for ethics and impact
