Now Hiring: Part-Time Café Team Member, Floor + Brand (Kitsilano)
A performance wellness café in Kits is looking for a friendly, organized part-timer who takes real pride in a clean, well-kept space and is genuinely excited about helping build a brand. This is a consistent, part-time role, roughly 15 to 20 hours a week to begin with, across about three to four days, with room to grow as we do. Shifts are mainly afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and include closing. Exact days and times to be confirmed, so some flexibility helps.
We're not a typical café. We're building a brand around whole ingredients, no refined sugar, and wellness-focused food. We're not a Korean café, but Korean cooking runs through some of our main signature dishes, so it's a real part of what we do.
This role has two sides, and we care about both equally. On the floor, it's about keeping the space running clean and tight: prep, organization, spotless equipment, a strong close, making our full drink lineup, and looking after guests with genuine warmth. A clean space and well-maintained machines are central to how we work, not an afterthought. Beyond that, we're looking for someone who wants to be part of how we grow. Menu development, marketing, and promotions are a real part of what we do, and we want a teammate who gets excited about new ideas and wants to help shape them, not just clock in and out.
To be clear, this is more than a barista role. It's clean prep and assembly, including building our bowls, not heavy cooking or a greasy line.
What you'll do:
Prep, organize, and keep the whole space clean and tidy throughout the shift, not just at the end
Care for our equipment like it's your own: espresso machine, grinder, blenders, and more, all kept genuinely clean
Run a thorough, reliable close, including a full equipment cleandown
Build our full drink lineup: blended, espresso-based, matcha, protein, and more
Assemble our bowls and plates with clean prep and care (no heavy cooking or grease)
Greet and look after guests in a friendly, genuine way
Contribute ideas for menu development, promotions, and content as we grow
What we're looking for:
Someone who takes genuine pride in a clean, organized station and spotless equipment. This is the core of the day-to-day, and we notice and reward the people who do it well
A real interest in menu development, marketing, and promotions. This matters to us. You see a café as a brand to build, not just a storefront
Friendly and warm with guests, every time
Real café and bar experience. Making drinks and running a clean station should already be second nature
Genuine interest in wellness and whole-food cooking, plus an appreciation for Korean food, since some of our signatures are rooted in it
Easy to communicate with and open to feedback. We move quickly and value people who collaborate rather than dig in
Reliable, and able to commit to a consistent weekly schedule once set
Nice to have:
Experience with whole-food or wellness-focused menus
A sense for social content, branding, or product ideas
If this sounds like you, send your resume and a quick note about your café experience, including how you keep a station and your equipment clean and organized, plus any menu, marketing, or promo ideas you've helped bring to life.
