- Plan menus, estimate food and labour costs, manage stock and supplies with accurate record-keeping
- Identify and implement process improvements to boost efficiency, service quality, and team satisfaction

Skills & Experience Required
- Demonstrated leadership in a busy café or hospitality operation
- Strong technical coffee knowledge: espresso machines, gadgets, milk texturing, calibration and maintenance
- Experience training and supervising staff, rostering, performance evaluation
- Solid knowledge of food safety legislation, hygiene standards, and safe work practices
