The Berry General Store

Experienced Barista

Berry, New South WalesFull-time
About the Job
Let’s keep this simple.

We’re a busy café and coffee is a big part of what we do. We care about consistency, speed, and keeping things running properly - especially when it gets hectic.

We’re looking for an experienced barista who’s comfortable on the machine and can hold their own during service.

The reality of the role:
  •  Early starts (6:00am)
  •  Weekend shifts are part of the deal 
  •  It gets busy, you’ll need to keep pace without it falling apart 
  •  You’ll be expected to stay consistent, not just “get coffees out” 

If you prefer slower-paced environments or need support during a rush, this probably isn’t the right fit.

What you’ll actually be doing:
  •  Running a coffee section during peak service 
  •  Dialling in grinders and adjusting throughout the day 
  •  Keeping workflow clean, efficient, and under control 
  •  Working closely with the team to keep service moving 
  •  Talking to customers like a normal person 

What we’re looking for:
  •  You’ve got solid experience on a commercial machine 
  •  You can handle a rush without losing consistency 
  •  You understand workflow and don’t get flustered easily 
  •  You take pride in what you’re putting out 
  •  You show up on time and do your job properly 

This isn’t a “learn from scratch” role - we need someone who can step in and get going.

The good part:
  •  Strong team that knows how to work together 
  •  Busy services that keep things interesting 
  •  Daytime hours only
  •  Staff food, coffee, and perks 
  •  Room to step up if you’re switched on 

We’re not trying to sell it as something it’s not - it’s just a good, well-run place to work.

To apply:
Send through:
  •  Your experience
  •  How you handle a busy coffee rush 
  •  Your experience dialling in grinders 

And just so we know you’ve read this properly, include:
 “I can handle the rush” in your application.
