Cafe Manager
Hospitality · Bribie Island, Brisbane QLD, Australia · Full-Time · $80,000/yr
Role: full-time Café Manager on Bribie Island, Brisbane, Queensland.
This is not a desk-based supervisory job. The person appointed must be able to make coffee to a high standard, lead and roster a team with confidence, and keep stock, costs, service and the customer experience under control in a busy venue.
The employer will look for three things: a credible, checkable work history, real barista skill and the leadership to take full ownership of the café. There is also scope to shape menus, specials and events that keep regulars coming back. If you are applying from Pakistan, prepare an English CV that shows your management dates clearly.
