Help out with my Gourmet coffee shop. Located in a charming and touristic small city, next to the Massawippi lake, in the Eastern Townships - Quebec. 1.5 hours from Montreal, 30 minutes from Vermont, USA and 2.5 hours from Quebec city.
The small coffee shop is very appreciated in the area. We serve good coffees, local products and healthy food. Our keys of success are high quality and the best customer service :)
My husband and I are born in France, we have been living in Canada and the US for 30 years. We traveled and moved a lot for work, and enjoyed many experiences. We like to manage new projects and have challenges. The coffee shop is our last baby. We have 3 boys (24 - 20 and 14) born in Quebec.
I’m also a ski patrol rescue and first aid instructor. My husband works full time as a management consultant... so I need help for operating the coffee shop a little bit :) and help with my young dog, Gordon Setter, and with my two horses .
Our family also practices running and trail running, mountain biking, trekking ...
The team at the coffee shop is of the highest quality, dynamic, reliable and demonstrates autonomy.
All of these in a no smoking area and healthy environment :)

The coffee is a business where we promote a maximum of local products. We work a lot with local farms or suppliers. If you help us, here at the Coffee shop you can interact with a lot of local people and learn a lot about our work habits. You may also get a very good management experience, practice or learn English and/or French languages. We share meals as a way to enjoy a cultural exchange.
During your days off, you can explore this wonderfull area (Eastern townships or other areas in Province of Quebec, or in Vermont, New Hampshire... if you have a United States valid visa). We also have family in Quebec city as well as in Rivière du Loup :)

The coffee shop is divided into three parts. One: the Barista, we serve very good coffees (locally roasted), espresso, cappuccino, latte, moka etc., tea, pastries, croissants, candies, sandwiches and paninis made with local and healthy food. Second: the restaurant part with french crepes and salads also with local and healthy food. Third: the shop, we sell local handcraft, local food products and more. Our customers are tourists from other areas of Quebec, international tourists or local customers, educated and/or quality and healthy oriented.
I need help to operate the coffee shop when I’m not available. It’s a multi tasks help.
I need hepl around 3 days per week. For openings and closings.

We share meals as a way to enjoy a cultural exchange, as we are no paying a wage, we don’t ask fees for food expenses, but I only pay the familly food, not special food.
