At JTM Cake Studio & Cafe, our mission is to spark creativity, build community, and celebrate life’s moments — every day and in every way! Through our cakes, coffee, and warm hospitality, we create meaningful connections and turn the everyday into something worth celebrating!
POSITION OVERVIEWWe're seeking a part-time Cafe Team Member to join our small but mighty team! You'll start on the cafe side — greeting guests, making drinks, and keeping the shop running beautifully — with the opportunity to grow into kitchen and cake decorating work as you build skills with us.
This is a real growth role. We train from the front counter back, so the person who thrives here is someone who wants to learn the whole business — not just clock in and out. If baking and decorating are where you eventually want to be, this is how you get there.
What you’ll do:- Welcome guests, take orders, run POS, and provide exceptional customer service
- Prep and serve cafe drinks
- Package baked goods and help keep the display stocked and tidy
- Support light kitchen tasks and basic food prep as needed
- Keep the café guest‑ready at all times (clean‑as‑you‑go: counters, dishes, floors, washrooms, restocks)
- Help with occasional events/workshops (set up, reset, hosting support)
- Complete day‑to‑day operations without being told
- Decorating fundamentals — crumb coating, icing, piping, and finishing touches
- Prepping decorating components like buttercream, cake pops, and toppers
- 1–2 years of customer service experience (cafe, retail, or food service preferred)
- Genuine interest in coffee, baking, and/or hospitality (experience is a bonus but not required — we'll train the right person!)
- Strong multitasking skills and the ability to stay organized in a fast‑paced setting!
- Attention to detail — in this business, the little things ARE the big things
- Team player with a positive, can‑do attitude!
- Exceptional communication skills
- Comfortable on your feet and working with your hands for a full shift
- Food Handler Certification is an asset (or willingness to get certified — we'll help!)
- Flexible schedule, a more concrete schedule will be developed once we get a sense of what works best for all of us!
- Reliability — you show up on time and communicate early if something comes up
- Coachability — you take feedback well, apply it, and keep pushing yourself to improve
- Guest‑first energy — you're consistently friendly, professional, and present
- Pride in your work — from a perfectly poured latte to a spotless sink, you care about doing it right
- Cleaning, dishes, and resetting as you go isn't something you enjoy (it's a core part of cafe and kitchen life)
- You need constant direction to stay on task
- Multitasking during a rush feels overwhelming
- You only want to bake and aren't interested in serving guests (the cafe side comes first here)
- You need a fully fixed schedule from day one
- $18.00/hour to start, plus tips earned on shift
- Full training — real, transferable skills in both cafe service and bakery work
- A genuine path into baking and cake decorating, mentored by our team
- A creative, energetic environment where your ideas actually get heard and implemented
- A meaningful role on a small, driven team — you won't be invisible here
- The chance to help people celebrate their most important moments, every single day
