About Us:

At Gong Cha, we pride ourselves on brewing fresh, high-quality tea and toppings all day long while delivering warm, welcoming service to every guest. We are currently looking for hardworking, upbeat, and detail-oriented Part time Baristas to join our Toronto team for short weekday daytime shifts (Monday to Friday and Weekends).

If you are a university or college student with morning or mid-day gaps between classes looking for steady, flexible hours in a supportive team environment, we would love to meet you!

Key Responsibilities:

- Warm Customer Hospitality: Greet every customer with a smile, ring up orders accurately on the POS system, explain menu items (milk foam, tea bases, toppings), and guide guests through sugar and ice level customizations.
- Brand-Standard Drink Crafting: Prepare milk teas, brewed teas, slushes, and specialty drinks with speed and precision—strictly following Gong Cha’s standard recipes, dispenser measurements, and shaking/sealing steps.
- Daytime Kitchen & Tea Prep: Brew fresh batches of tea on strict timers, cook tapioca pearls and toppings to exact texture standards, label expiration times, and rotate ingredients using First-In, First-Out (FIFO).
- Open-Bar Cleanliness: Because our counter is an open-concept workspace in full view of customers, you will practice a strict "clean as you go" habit—wiping counters, rinsing shakers immediately, keeping topping stations spotless, and maintaining a tidy lobby.
- Restocking & Station Readiness: Restock cups, sealing film, straws, napkins,



and syrups throughout the day so the bar is fully prepped for lunch rushes and the incoming evening shift.

What We Are Looking For:

- Weekday Daytime Availability: Available to work at least 2 to 3 weekday daytime shifts per week (3 to 5 hours per shift, Monday–Friday between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM).
- Friendly & Communicative: Outgoing personality, patient under pressure, and clear English communication skills.
- Detail-Oriented & Clean: Takes pride in maintaining a neat, hygienic counter and following exact recipe measurements so every drink meets Gong Cha’s quality standards.
- Reliable Team Player: Punctual, proactive during quieter daytime periods, and supportive of coworkers in a compact, fast-paced bar layout.
- Physical Stamina: Comfortable standing for the full shift and able to safely lift up to 25–30 lbs (tea urns, ice buckets, syrup boxes).
- No prior bubble tea experience required—we provide comprehensive, hands-on training!
- Ontario Food Handler Certificate is a plus.

Perks & Benefits:

- Short, predictable shifts tailored around your school schedule.
- Free staff drink on shift + employee discounts.
- Direct access to TTC transit.
- Friendly, structured, and supportive store leadership.
