About Studio Coffee (Arcade)
Studio Coffee is a brand new hospitality concept launching in the heart of Covent Garden, and we are looking for a passionate and experienced Head Barista to join our new brand and help shape its culture.
By day, Studio Coffee is a low-fi vinyl listening café — a place where exceptional coffee, matcha, music culture, and thoughtful hospitality come together. By evening, the space transitions into a craft cocktail and wine bar, creating a venue that evolves throughout the day and into the night.
Alongside the café experience and baked goods, we will offer a curated grab-and-go selection of juices, functional soda’s, craft beer and natural wines for guests looking to enjoy high-quality coffee and products on the move.
About The Role
The Barista will be the a key player in the team supporting the day-to-day café operations at Studio Coffee. Reporting to the Bar Manager, you will support the coffee program, and ensure every guest receives exceptional service and beautifully prepared coffee, matcha’s, teas and other beverages.
In this role, you will play a central role in helping to shape the culture, quality standards, and rhythm of the café, while helping your Head Barista and Bar Manager to prepare the venue for its transition into evening service.
