Therefore, we are seeking someone who has experience as a speciality barista in high-traffic environments but also someone that thrives in environments where thinking on your feet is required.
As we are a mobile truck, working outside in all weathers is part of what we do. Yes, we have a cover from the rain, but you'll need a warm coat, hat and socks
