Maintain excellent standards of hygiene and cleanliness.
Ensure all company policies are followed consistently.

What We’re Looking For:

Strong leadership and people management skills.
Commercial awareness and financial understanding.
Excellent organisational and communication skills.
Ability to perform under pressure in a fast-paced environment.
Strong attention to detail and high standards.

Desirable

Experience in speciality coffee.
