Bread & Butter is a popular and busy café in the centre of Truro, with a big following of loyal customers. We have a passion for good food, speciality coffee and making people happy with fantastic service.
Our team is energetic, friendly, supportive, enthusiastic, fun and a genuine pleasure to work with. In contrast to many hospitality jobs, our team members tend to stay working here for a long time.
If you have solid experience in waiting at a busy restaurant, and love seeing happy customers, we want to talk to you.
Hours and days
We are looking for people who can work
- at least four days a week including some Saturdays and/or Sundays
- starting at 8.30am, and finishing between 3.30 and 4.30pm
- for the summer and beyond - this is NOT just a summer role.
IF YOU CAN'T DO THESE HOURS, PLEASE DO NOT APPLY.
Working with us, you’ll be doing a bit of everything and will train you where needed in:
- welcoming customers with a smile and warmth
- taking orders efficiently yet warmly
- serving people with care and confidence
- making the best coffee in Truro
- cooking the best pancakes and other food in town and arranging it beautifully on the plate
- clearing tables and the prep areas and making good friends with the dishwash-machine
- cleaning-up with the whole team at the end of the day.
Personal skills needed
We’re looking for someone with experience in waiting tables who can hit the ground running.
But equally important is the ability to fit in and work well with the existing team.
Team player: we work well together as a team, looking out for ways to help our colleagues and the café run smoothly. You need to be comfortable fitting into existing routines and systems and taking instruction from the managers.
Great with people: you’ll need to have really good self-awareness as well as being bright, warm and engaging with people. You’ll know when to be friendly, and when to be efficient, and be able to articulate a message warmly yet succinctly.
Clean and tidy: you must be instinctively tidy and clean and comfortable with the constant need to keep our workspace this way too.
Not afraid to work hard: this place gets really busy, day after day. You’ll need to be comfortable working hard, looking for the next job to do to help your colleagues, however busy it’s been, and working calmly under pressure. We’re all on our feet all day, and there is a lot of carrying of plates up and down stairs, so energy and commitment are important.
Hard work though it is, it is rewarding too! We get great feedback from our very many happy customers, and the team here is great - and these make it a great place to work, have no doubt! The pay is above the Living Wage and the tips add to your monthly takings nicely.
What we offer
- above National Wage
- 28 days holiday, including public holidays, pro-rated to the hours you work
- a great team atmosphere
- team social events
- share of tips
- a supportive atmosphere and the chance to progress a career in hospitality
- optional pension scheme
- free and discounted food.
