We’re opening a brand new café in the beautiful Adelaide Hills – and we’re looking for an experienced, motivated, and people-focused Café Manager to bring it to life.

• Create a strong team culture focused on hospitality, consistency, and care

• Be a key face of the café in the local community

• Maintain high standards of cleanliness, compliance, and service

• Keep an eye on budgets, stock, and overall performance

About You

• Proven experience managing a café or hospitality venue

• Confident leader who thrives in hands-on environments

• Organised, calm under pressure, and solutions-focused

• Comfortable making decisions and taking initiative

• Barista skills and coffee knowledge a big bonus

• Passion for community, sustainability, and building a brand with heart

Why Join Us?
