Front of House Supervisor / Barista Extraordinaire
_Duncan Garage Café & Bakery Duncan, BC_

Are you a customer service wizard with a passion for coffee, community, and keeping things running smoothly?
We're on the lookout for a Front of House Supervisor / Barista Extraordinaire - someone who's equal parts hands-on leader, espresso pro, and all-around awesome human.

At Duncan Garage Cafe & Bakery , we're not just serving food - we're creating a warm, welcoming space where people gather for good eats, local vibes, and real connection. We're a bustling, community-focused, organic and vegetarian café that thrives on fast-paced teamwork, great service, and genuine smiles .

About the Role:

You'll be the go-to person on the floor - making sure the day flows, the customers are happy, and the team feels supported. You'll lead by example behind the bar, pulling beautiful espresso shots, jumping on till, solving problems on the fly, and keeping our front-of-house humming.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, has top-tier barista skills, and loves bringing out the best in a team.

What You'll Be Doing:

Barista + Guest Experience

Deliver friendly, genuine customer service with care, speed, and warmth
Make delicious coffee and espresso drinks with consistency and flair
Guide customers through our menu (and your latte art game is a bonus!)
Handle custom orders, dietary questions, and make everyone feel welcome

Leadership & Supervision

Lead and support the FOH team during shifts - keep energy high and service smooth
Troubleshoot issues as they come up and make confident, people-first decisions
Train and coach new team members with patience and clarity
Handle customer concerns with professionalism and a problem-solving mindset

Daily Operations

Manage opening/closing duties, cash handling, and till reconciliation
Monitor service flow, adjust breaks and coverage when needed
Ensure cleanliness, organization, and health/safety standards are always on point
Restock supplies, communicate with back-of-house, and help keep everything moving

What We're Looking For:

Barista experience required - you're confident behind the machine and love the craft
Leadership or supervisor experience in a café, bakery, or restaurant setting
Strong interpersonal and communication skills - with both customers and coworkers
Hands-on work ethic - you lead from the front, not from the sidelines
High attention to detail and a cool head in busy moments
Food Safe Level 1 (or willingness to get certified)

Perks of the Garage Life:

A welcoming, values-driven work environment
Be part of a local, organic, vegetarian cafe that's rooted in community
Supportive leadership and opportunities to grow with us
Staff discounts, delicious food, and a team that has each other's backs
