Crosstown is an independent business from London that started in 2014. We straddle the line between an independent coffee concept, and artisan bakery with a real point of difference. We own and operate a commercial bakery, hand making doughnuts 365 nights a year. From our doughnuts and coffee bar in Soho, and our 30-cover café in Shoreditch, we pair our product with specialty coffee from Caravan Coffee Roasters.
We have recently opened our newest store in Piccadilly, and are now on the hunt for full-time staff with a strong appreciation for quality produce and warm hospitality. We have positions available in the EC1, N1 and W1 postcodes.
Our close-knit retail team of 35 people are all excellent communicators, are friendly with customers, take initiative and work well both independently as well as a team. Attention to detail and a want to be organised is a must in our company.
Given Crosstown's quick expansion, this role has the potential to grow into managerial positions and give you the opportunity to be instrumental in a growing business.
Requirements are as follows:
- The ability to work a flexible and rotating schedule. Both weekdays and weekends are necessary.
- Must be able to use common sense and initiative.
- Ability to effectively communicate to a range of customer types that are not purely transactional. I.e. Front of House staff obtain a lot of leads for catering, events, weddings and corporate orders.
- experience with specialty coffee is favourable but not required.
To apply, please write a short cover note explaining why Crosstown holds interest for you, and provide some context to your experiences and why you meet the above criteria. Also attach a CV no longer than two-pages.
