Job Description
Automation Risk
Many core tasks, such as payment processing and cleaning, are routine and increasingly automatable with POS systems and robotics. However, the role still relies heavily on human interaction, customer service, and teamwork, which are less susceptible to full automation. GenAI tools can augment inventory, compliance, and some drink preparation, but the customer experience remains human-driven.

- Prepare and serve a variety of hot and cold drinks, including specialty coffees and seasonal beverages.

- Process payments accurately using POS systems and handle cash or card transactions.
- Collaborate with team members to ensure efficient service and a positive work environment.
- Monitor inventory levels and restock supplies as needed.
- Ensure compliance with food safety and hygiene standards.
- Engage customers in conversation to enhance their experience and encourage repeat visits.
