Full job description
Grind is a hospitality company that lives in London. Since opening Shoreditch Grind in 2011, we've expanded across London with cafés serving coffee, food and cocktails - as well as coffee trucks and a state-of-the-art coffee roastery.
Our pink coffee trucks are parked in London hotspots, serving takeaway speciality coffee to customers on-the-go. We keep it moving fast, fuelling London’s busiest people.
We think coffee can be a force for good. Whether it's through creating the UK's first compostable coffee pods, our plastic-free packaging or carbon-free shipping - we're on a mission to be the world's most sustainable coffee company.
In 2023, we created our charity, the Better Coffee Foundation, to undo the damage done by the global coffee industry - in our first year, we recovered 43 million pods' worth of ocean-bound plastic.
We are looking for an experienced Senior Barista to support our Head Baristas and help lead a small (yet very busy) team to ensure coffee at Grind is always delivered to the best standard. This means making sure the teams are always engaging with the customers, the quality of product remains to the highest standard and consistent at all times, and that the speed of service is prompt and to company standards.
To be eligible for this position, you will need to have experience in supporting and developing a team, be trained in assisting stock control, and knowledge of what it takes to be an effective leader. You will have a complete understanding of the equipment and the beans, a keen eye for detail and a passion for quality coffee.
We use La Marzocco Linea PB machines and Mahlkonig e65s grinders, so knowledge of dialling in, maintaining machines & closing down is essential.
Ability to dial in Grinders for both House Blend & Light Blend to our brand standards and the desired taste of our different blends
Train and support a team and encourage professional development
Support a team at all times
The ability to perfectly stretch all the milks used at Grind
Pour advanced latte art (rosettas, multi-layered tulips, swans)
Maintain a clean section at all times
Report issues with espresso equipment to the Coffee Maintenance team
Handle customer issues and manage expectations to deliver a customer-focused approach
Understanding of all current coffees, including tasting notes, and recipes
Manage and maintain all coffee, milk & tea stock levels and communicate any stock shortages with the Manager on site
Ensure all stock is rotated and clearly labelled in compliance with H&S procedures
Complete or delegate weekly stock take operations & cost sheets
Understanding of coffee-based P&L’s, including sales figures and coffee margins
Wear full and correct uniform always
You’ll have.
Strong leadership and managerial skills
Effective communication skills
Exceptional barista skills
Strong multi-tasking skills, ability to problem-solve with a solutions-driven approach
Friendly, approachable and fun work attitude
