Café Shift Leader
Who we are…
Boston tea party began its soulful journey in the 90s as four quirky, independent cafes, then along came Sam Roberts, the CEO with a love for hospitality and a mission to prove that doing good is good for business. Sam has always challenged the norm and no more so than when challenging the industry on single use coffee cups and helping young adults in our communities to grow and flourish in hospitality via our Foundation, that's why everyone at Boston has the shared purpose of Making things better for our team, customers and the planet.
Boston is now 25 soulful cafes serving the best in breakfast, brunch, and lunch and our coffee is another level. We want our cafes to be the best place to work in hospitality, which means we need a fantastic team who share our values to get there
