What are the responsibilities and job description for the Cafe Associate position at Googans Galley?
Googans is growing our team and looking for energetic, dependable people who enjoy good food, good people, and workdays that actually move.
Our Cafe Associates are the face of Googans and an important part of keeping our busy breakfast and lunch operation running smoothly. This is an active, hands-on position that combines customer service, food & coffee service, and organization with teamwork.
Restaurant experience is NOT required. We're much more interested in finding people with a great work ethic, personality, reliability, and willingness to learn.
What You'll Do:
- Greet and assist customers in a friendly, genuine way
- Take orders and operate the point-of-sale system (Toast)
- Prepare coffee and other beverages
- Package bakery items, prepared foods, sandwiches and takeout orders
- Restock products and maintain displays
- Assist the kitchen and bakery team as needed
- Keep customer and service areas clean and organized
- Help with opening, closing and daily side work
- Learn our products so you can confidently help customers
- Jump in wherever needed to keep service moving
Who Does Well Here:
You don't need to be a restaurant veteran. You DO need to be someone who:
- Shows up when you're scheduled
- Likes being busy rather than watching the clock
- Is comfortable talking to customers and asking questions
- Notices what needs to be done and takes initiative to do it
- Can take direction and learn quickly
- Works well as part of a small team
- Takes pride in keeping things clean and organized
- Brings a positive, professional attitude to work
Experience in cafés, restaurants, retail, hospitality or customer service is helpful, but we're happy to train the right person.
