CAREERS AT THE CARDRONA HOTEL

Barista / Food Runner

We seek a professional and efficient barista who is passionate about making coffees, knows how to pour the perfect espresso shot, dial the coffee grinder in and do latte art whilst remaining calm when the dockets start piling up. Please be aware that we are not a café, meaning that the job also encompasses several other front of house duties that will keep your day varied and interesting. Once the morning coffee rush is over, you'll be running food to tables and clear them, whilst keeping an eye on the coffee docket machine. Front of house/waiting experience is therefore also essential. 

The role is full-time and mostly consists of early starts, providing an engaging breakfast service to our hotel guests, and working until around 3pm. You will be covering 2-3 morning shifts on the coffee machine when our head barista is on their days off, and work floor shifts for the rest of the week (Mid-morning start until late afternoon/into dinner if required). 

The job is available from late October and we ideally require a commitment to the whole summer season, meaning until late April 2025. 

Bringing a friend? Great! We'll have other front of house positions available from late October, please inquire with your application. You need to be able to stop by for an interview and trial shift. 

We have staff accommodation available. You must have valid NZ work rights.
