Paul Butera, VIC Operations Manager at Coffee on Cue

Paul Butera

VIC Operations Manager

Paul leads our Victorian operations with calm confidence and a deep respect for people and process. A seasoned hospitality professional and former owner-operator of several Melbourne venues, he brings more than fifteen years of hands-on experience, from running cafes and wine bars to designing service systems that hold up under pressure.

His leadership is grounded in connection. He is never far from the frontline, believing the best way to understand a team is to work alongside them, so every service runs smoothly and every moment feels intentional.

Away from operations, you will find him keeping active, at the pool, or with his wife and kids.

“I’ve been fortunate to experience some of the best coffees and producers around the world, but nothing compares to a simple stovetop made by my dad.”

Excellent coffee roasted in house and a killer brunch menu. A great spot for a working lunch or a quiet corner to catch up.

Meet the people behind every cup.
