Mornington VIC, Australia Capt'n Brew Full time $198,240 - $224,640 per year

About Us

Capt'n Brew isn't just a mobile café — we're a purpose-built coffee trailer. At Capt'n Brew, we don't just serve coffee — we create moments. Our boat-themed mobile café is all about bringing the good vibes, specialty brews, and a taste of the coast to markets, events, and gatherings across Melbourne.

We're a small, owner-run crew with a big vision: to elevate taste buds and deliver an experience people remember. At peak markets, we're moving fast — brewing a drink in under a minute and smashing through 5kg of beans in just a few hours. It's busy, it's fun, and it's fuelled by great coffee and even better people.

What your day looks like

This is not your average barista gig. We're looking for an all-round legend who's just as comfortable pulling the perfect espresso as they are towing a trailer, setting up a pop-up café, or keeping the vibes flowing with customers.

Your role will cover:

  • Towing & Setup – Safely towing and setting up the trailer so it's ready to roll.
  • Stock & Prep – Restocking supplies, loading up, and making sure the trailer is dialled in for service.
  • Service & Speed – Brewing coffee, blending drinks, and following recipes with precision (we move fast and stay sharp).
  • Cash & POS Handling – Running the till, processing payments, and reconciling with accuracy and trust.
  • Customer Vibes – Creating a positive, upbeat experience for every customer — you're part of the show.
  • Pack Down & Reset – Packing up with care, leaving no trace, and setting us up for the next adventure.

Shifts range from 4 to 8 hours (including setup/pack-down). Some days you'll do it all — towing, service, and pack-down. Other days, you might just jump in for a shorter service shift.

Where You'll Work

Most of our events are in the Mornington Peninsula and Bayside area — think coastal mornings, buzzing markets, and local events. Occasionally, we pop up in the Yarra Valley and the wider South-East Melbourne region. A bit of travel is part of the ride, and we'll make sure you're supported with the right setup.

What We're Looking For

We want someone who:

  • Brings professionalism and reliability (you'll be trusted with towing, stock, and cash).
  • Has energy and resilience to thrive in a high-volume, fast-paced service.
  • Loves a challenge and can problem-solve on the go.
  • Is adaptable in a small space with a tight, efficient workflow.
  • Can uplift the vibe and engage with people in a fun, approachable way.

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly rate (negotiated on experience).
  • Percentage of daily sales bonus — your hustle pays off.
  • Full training provided in both coffee craft and trailer operations.
  • Steady work through to March 2026, including weekdays and weekends.
  • A role where every day is different — no two events or markets are the same.
  • The chance to grow with a unique brand that values creativity, energy, and community.

Why Capt'n Brew?

Because this isn't just about pouring lattes. It's about steering a mobile café, bringing smiles, and making people's day better. We designed and built a boat on wheels that turns heads everywhere we go — and now we need crew to help sail it.

Do you want to work with people who had the crazy idea to build a trailer into a café that everyone talks about? Do you want to be part of a team that runs on coffee, good vibes, and a touch of adventure?

It's fast, and it's fun, If you've got the drive (literally) and the vibe, jump on board — we'd love to have you as part of the crew.

Sound like you? Apply now and come ride the wave with Capt'n Brew.
