Job Overview
We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Barista to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a love for coffee and a commitment to providing exceptional customer service. As a Barista, you will be responsible for crafting high-quality beverages, maintaining cleanliness, and ensuring a welcoming atmosphere for our customers.
About us
Hi there We're Riviera – a cosy café and coffee roastery right in the heart of Largs. We're known for our fab coffee, fresh food and laid-back vibes. This is our fourth year running, and the buzz never stops – so we're on the lookout for a chilled but hard-working individual to join our wee team.
What we're after:
* Previous hospitality and barista experience (confident on the machine is a must)
* Someone reliable, upbeat and ready to muck in wherever needed
* A good sense of humour – we love a laugh as much as we love good coffee
* Flexibility to work weekdays and weekends
About the team:
We're a small crew – 4 full-timers, a few part-timers/weekenders, and currently just one barista (who will be your partner-in-coffee crime). You won't get lost in the crowd here – everyone's contribution makes a big difference.
What you'll get:
* A supportive, friendly team environment
* Proper training where needed, and the chance to hone your coffee skills
* Staff meals and plenty of caffeine to fuel your shifts
* The satisfaction of working in a buzzing, well-loved local café
If you're dedicated, hands-on, and love good coffee as much as good banter, Riviera could be your next stop.
