Description
Digital nomad with cafe experience would be perfect.
We are seeking a dedicated, self mativated individual to join our team over our quieter period. This role involves flexible hours in our café, with pay based on hours worked. Availability on-call is essential, as our schedule can vary greatly. Experience in front-of-house operations and coffee making is a must! We have a dedicated wifi space in our café for you. It is our quiet time off year so hours will be low but if you are keen and show a good work ethic it could work that you stay on to work over our busy summer period with greater hours.
A bit more specifically, from 26th September, our cafe will cater for breakfast and packed lunches on the first day of a 3-day catered walk here on the Coromandel.Pahi Coastal Walk. So I need each morning from then at least half an hour help with making the coffees and running their breakfasts to them. Half an hour may be all I have early in the season but this would pick up closer to summer we get. Hence, why I am looking for a person happy for a place to stay, little hours ok and wifi to be able to do their online work
You'll be working alongside me. While I typically handle kitchen duties, you will be responsible for front-of-house, coffee preparation, and counter service, so prior experience in these areas is crucial. We value a friendly demeanor and someone who can grasp instructions quickly.
Accommodation will be provided free of charge, and our location is close to the stunning Coromandel beaches and beautiful walking trails, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. Given our rural setting, having your own vehicle is recommended.
In addition to café operations, we also run a farm shop, selling a variety of products including our own meats and homemade jams and pickles. We’re looking for someone fluent in English, with a friendly attitude towards customers, a strong work ethic, energy, and self-motivation.
All hours worked will be paid minimum wage.
We also have room if you have your own camper, free of charge parking.
The beach is within walking distance of the café, and I live next door with my two boys. I would appreciate your help in keeping the living space clean and tidy.
We offer hourly wages for all hours worked, with a maximum commitment of 5 days and 40 hours per week, though actual hours will be low during this period. So having you own online work would be great.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks,
Cathy
