Experienced Barista with leadership experience

Forget Me Not Coffee is looking for an experienced barista with previous leadership or supervisory experience to join our Adelaide team and grow into a café supervisor role.

This position is a little different from a typical supervisor hire. We want our supervisors to have a strong understanding of our day-to-day café operations and build a good relationship with the team before fully stepping into the leadership role. You’ll initially spend time learning our workflow, drinks, opening and closing procedures, prep, cleaning standards, and overall café operations.

As you become comfortable with our systems, you’ll gradually take on more responsibility leading shifts and supporting the team.

We’re looking for someone who is friendly and approachable but also confident taking ownership, giving direction, and holding the team to expectations when needed. You should be comfortable learning from existing baristas while you’re recent, while also having the confidence to step into a leadership role once you understand how we operate.

Please note, we are seeking a dedicated and energetic experienced barista to lead our team in a high-volume, fast-paced environment. If you excel under pressure, love the hustle of a busy café, and are passionate about delivering outstanding customer service, this role is for you!

What we’re looking for:

- Previous specialty coffee/barista experience
- Previous supervisor, shift lead, or similar leadership experience
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-stress environment.
- Versatile availability,



including weekends and holidays.
- Genuine interest in coffee and café operations
- Strong communication and people skills
- Comfortable giving direction and constructive feedback
- Proactive and able to notice what needs to be done without always being asked
- Able to balance being friendly with maintaining professional expectations
- Comfortable learning from an established team before taking on full leadership responsibilities
- Reliable, organized, and able to stay calm during busy periods
- Interest in training and developing other baristas

As You Transition Into the Supervisor Role

- Team Leadership: Supervise, train, and support baristas to maintain efficiency and quality during high-demand periods and delegating tasks with ease.
- Customer Service: Ensure exceptional service even during peak hours; quickly and professionally address any guests' concerns.
- Quality Control: Oversee beverage preparation to guarantee consistent quality, even in a fast-paced setting.
- Operations Management: Manage inventory, cash handling, and ensure a clean, organized workspace.
