The Hideout Café

Pay:

What You’ll Do:

- Prepare and serve coffee, tea, matcha, smoothies, and our signature lattes like the Lana Del Latte, My Chemical Mocha, and The Toast Malone

- Work the sandwich and salad line during peak hours (avocado toasts, paninis, breakfast items, etc.)

- Learn and memorize our full menu (yes, there will be a test—don’t panic, we give you time)

- Deliver friendly, fast service in a high-energy environment

Training:

- 2 weeks of paid training to get you fully up to speed

What We’re Looking For:

- Someone local and available year-round (especially while college students are away)

- Food line or kitchen experience preferred

- Ability to multitask and stay calm during busy rushes

- Positive attitude and team mindset

About Us:

We’re more than just a coffee shop. We’re an inclusive, welcoming space that hosts a monthly Kitty Café (yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like and yes, people love it). Our menu is creative, our regulars are loyal, and our team actually supports each other.

If you’re dependable, quick on your feet, and ready to learn a menu that sounds like a playlist, we’d love to meet you.

Job Type: Part-time
