Gramos Coffee is looking for an enthusiastic, engaged and reliable individual to join our small and friendly team of coffee lovers for around 20 hours a week.
Based in King’s Cross Underground Station, we serve commuters, tourists and locals who seek us out for better coffee on the move. We regularly receive 5-star reviews for our coffee and service, and so this role is ideal for anyone who loves speciality coffee, takes pride in making a really good drink, genuinely enjoys hospitality, and connecting with people from around the world. If this sounds like you, then read on.
The role
· Making ‘impressive’ coffee and other drinks – consistent, high standard espresso extractions and good milk texture in a speedy and efficient manner.
· Being nice with customers and supporting the queue flows – delivering good customer service to busy commuters and curious tourists.
· Tasting coffee to make sure it’s on point and adjusting as needed.
· Preparing light bites for breakfast and baking pastries
· Keeping the coffee bar well organised, clean and tidy, with good personal hygiene
· Stocking up (cups, pastries, snacks) as needed, even without being asked.
· Being a team player by having good barista habits and a ‘can-do’ attitude.
· Contributing ideas to business growth – with ideas / activations for social media, A-board, promotions and layout.
About you
You are reliable, full of good energy, a quick learner and a genuine interest and fondness of coffee and people. You have a minimum 12 months of hands-on experience in speciality coffee or high-volume takeaway environments, with solid milk steaming/latte art skills. You understand extraction fundamentals, and are able to independently dial in espresso and batch brew. You bring good vibes, even at 6am in the morning, and are confident working independently during off-peak periods or closing shifts within secure station environment.
You are available up to 20 hours a week, including weekends, morning shifts and closing shifts. We can work around your schedule (to a certain extent), but being able to commit to scheduled shifts is a must.
