We are looking to hire a Barista for our Specialty Coffee shop with a workload of around 20-50% (10-25 hours per week) to join us at the beginning of July (or other date by agreement) on an hourly salary.

Who we're looking for:

You have an understanding of what specialty coffee is and a great passion for specialty coffee. You have ideally worked at one or multiple specialty coffee shops before and are able to share your knowledge with our customers as well as other team members. But you are also eager and willing to learn from others and enjoy being part of a team.

You are able to follow processes, instructions or recipes precisely and consistently, work with structure and are a reliable and conscientious person. You're a team player and you share your own ideas, but respect other team members´ and customers´ views and opinions as well. Friendly hospitality and professional service come naturally to you.

Fluency in (Swiss) German or English are a requirement and in case of no (Swiss) German skills, the willingness to learn some basics quickly is expected.

What the job entails:

• preparing & serving espresso beverages (incl. latte art), pourover coffee, batch brew as well as other beverages such as tea, sodas or wine
• preparing & serving very simple dishes, e.g. toasts

• sick & vacation leave cover for other baristas
• possibly helping out at the roastery at times, bagging coffee, packing orders
• being part of training new baristas along the way

Your workload would be around 10-25 hours a week, including weekends. The work load can fluctuate depending on the season. Most of the time, two baristas work together with max. a few hours per day working alone. Shift schedules are always published well in advance, therefore, working hours can be planned well. Some flexibility to cover for other team members during vacations and sick leave is necessary.

What we offer:

• Competitive salary: CHF 23.71 + 5.29* = CHF 29 per hour (gross salary), social benefits
