Cafe Assistant - #2076150

ARNE's vision has always been to redefine what every day experiences feel like. Every space we create embodies our ‘less is more' approach, understated yet elevated, blending minimal, high-quality products with environments that are anything but average. With ARNE Bites, we're bringing that same philosophy into our café space, setting a new standard where exceptional design, accessible pricing, and meaningful customer moments come together.

Following the hugely successful launch of our flagship store in Liverpool ONE, we are excited to grow our ARNE Bites team and are looking for a Café Assistant/ Barista to help deliver a hospitality experience that reflects who we are. You'll be the face of ARNE Bites -welcoming guests, preparing quality drinks and food, and bringing the warmth, personality, and attention to detail that defines our brand.

If you're passionate about great service, are passionate about all thing's coffee, and want to be part of a brand that's reshaping what retail can look like, this is your opportunity to make an impact and help shape the future of ARNE Bites.

Your day-to-day role and responsibilities include:

• Support the day-to-day ARNE Bites operation to ensure smooth service and consistently high standards of food and beverage quality.
• Prepare high-quality coffee and beverages, including espresso-based drinks, teas, and specialty items, while maintaining excellent barista standards.
• Assist in maintaining and updating the ARNE bites menu offerings by providing feedback on products and collaborating with suppliers when needed.
