Who you are • Genuinely warm, upbeat and high-energy — you love meeting people, • Mission-driven and values-aligned, with a real interest in healthy, honest food, • A natural storyteller and brand ambassador, • Calm and unflappable under pressure, comfortable with a fast-paced, high-volume environment, • Reads people well and anticipates their needs, • Coachable and eager to learn — we value personality over experience, • Reliable, takes ownership, and a genuine team player with leadership potential No prior hospitality experience?
