These shifts typically range from 6am – 2.30pm every Saturday/Sunday (opportunities for more hours during the week are available) 

A typical day looks like:

  • You then spend the day serving our customers with delicious breads, pastries and coffee to then close up at 2pm, packing everything down to get the team ready for another day where we do it all over again!

We make sure you are fed and watered with the good stuff (coffee of course!) while on shift to get you through the day with a pep in your step! 

We have five stores across the Waikato with a tight knit team of people that have been with us for a long time so finding the right person is very important to us. 

The successful candidate will:

  • Have reliable transport
