We are NOT looking for a barista, server, or shop assistant who simply takes orders at the counter. We ARE looking for a true sales professional, someone with a passion and obsession for sales—a person who knows how to: - Engage with customers and build lasting relationships. - Explain products in detail and tell the story behind a label. - Anticipate customer needs and offer tailored solutions. - Drive additional sales through effective upselling strategies. This role is for someone who wakes up every morning ready to step onto the field and win, driven by the desire to deliver results and exceed expectations. The compensation includes a base salary plus a variable percentage based on sales performance. Your earnings will directly reflect your ability to sell and connect with customers. Who We Are NOT Looking For a skilled barista, server, or shop assistant with years of experience in a coffee chain or restaurant but WITHOUT the ability to connect with customers and drive sales. If you are just a shop assistant or a good coffee maker, this job is NOT for you. If you don’t care whether they order just a coffee or a coffee and a slice of cake, this job is NOT for you. If you don’t understand what upselling is, or you’re not interested in learning how to turn every interaction into a sales opportunity, this job is NOT for you. Who We Are Looking For We want a true salesperson—someone who thrives on delivering exceptional service, creating value for the customer, and maximizing sales opportunities. If you apply to this position, please explain why you believe you are a true salesperson. Don’t tell me you’re a barista, server, or shop assistant unless you can demonstrate real sales experience and the ability to close deals. This job is for someone who lives and breathes sales, not someone who just needs a paycheck. Ready to prove you’ve got what it takes? Apply now!
