Frequently Asked Questions

About The Roles

What are the general job tasks for an event barista?

Unlike your regular cafe job, our event barista role is responsible for taking customer orders, preparing tea and coffee beverages, servicing customers needs and providing impeccable customer service at all times at our events. This may also include serving food and catering brought along with us to the event.

What are the general job tasks for an event driver barista?

A driver barista is responsible for taking customer orders, preparing tea and coffee beverages and servicing customers needs at an event. This may also include serving food and catering brought along with us to the event.

They are also responsible for the stocking, delivery, setup, and pack down of our coffee carts on-site at our events.

Are most of your job shifts on weekdays, or weekends as well?

Our corporate event work is primarily weekdays, and unlike a café, we work only a small number of weekend days too. There are shifts available on most days, potentially public holidays too. During the holiday season, including Christmas eve and boxing day, we typically shutdown as the majority of our events take place during the corporate event calendar.

What type of contracts and salary packages do you offer?

Depending on the position you are applying for, we can offer full time hours, a part time contact or a casual barista role. Our full time and part time barista jobs come with competitive salary packages, rivalling salary packages from the best cafe in town.

What if my availability changes?

We have a very flexible approach to our workforce, as we understand things can change. You might start with a part time contract but want more hours, or begin with us as a full time barista but find it hard to manage a second part time job. The advantage of our event schedule is it can work around your other commitments, giving you power and autonomy for creating your perfect work week.

What cities are you actively hiring for?

We have jobs currently available in both Sydney and Melbourne, Australia.
