• You bring positive energy to every shift and care deeply about making customers feel valued.
• Customer Service First:
  You naturally connect with people and enjoy going the extra mile to make someone’s day.
• Supportive & Reliable:
  You’re happy to lend a hand wherever needed — whether that’s restocking shelves, jumping on till, or helping a teammate find their flow.
• Keen to Learn:
  You’re always up for picking up new skills — whether that’s getting to know a new product or learning how to improve the customer experience.
• Experience with People:
  You’ve worked in retail, hospitality, or another customer-facing environment and understand what it takes to offer great service, even during busy times.
• Team-Focused:
  You work well with others, show up with a good attitude, and contribute to a positive atmosphere on the shop floor.
• Community-Minded:
  You enjoy chatting with regulars and helping create a space that feels like part of the local neighbourhood.

As a Barista, you’ll be a key part of the customer experience — welcoming people into the store, offering helpful service, and ensuring every visitor leaves with a smile.

• Create Great Experiences:
  Greet customers warmly, share product knowledge, and help them find what they’re looking for — always with a focus on friendly, attentive service.
• Stay Present on the Floor:
  Be approachable, alert, and ready to help — whether it’s answering a question or recommending a new blend.
• Support Daily Tasks:
  Assist with basic store duties like restocking, tidying displays, and keeping things running smoothly.
• Work as a Team:
  Communicate clearly with teammates and be flexible to support the needs of the store throughout your shift.
• Champion the Brand:
  Help make sure the store is clean, inviting, and aligned with the Café Pod brand experience.
