Job Description
Café Assistant
Gather & Moor – Princetown, Devon
A new opening in the heart of Princetown occupying the previous Dartmoor visitor centre. A community hub for the village and the wider moor with a blend of food and drink to eat in, out or takeaway; visitor information and retail, community events, workshops and exhibitions, moorland discovery and maker spaces, play, learn and moor.

Opening this summer, we are looking for applicants who would be able to join the Duchy quickly and could travel to and from work with their own transport.
Overview
The Gather & Moor Café will offer a blend of grab and go and food to order menus, with spaces to eat indoors, in the garden, out front on the terrace or to eat on the hoof. The vibe will be great quality, sustainably considered, quick, relaxed, welcoming and something for everyone who happens to be passing or planning a visit to the moor. Something a little different.

In this front-facing customer service role, you'll be the friendly face our visitors see in any of our spaces . Your day will be filled with food service, making great barista coffees, confident and efficient till operations, basic food preparation, topping up products and keeping everything looking as good as it did the minute we opened.
