We're looking for a Front of House Lead (Head Barista) to join our team in Sagres and take the lead on the day-to-day running of the front of house operations.
We're a busy specialty coffee shop in Sagres, a surf town in the Algarve in southern Portugal. Alongside coffee, we bake and produce everything in house, from sourdough to pastries. The café has a strong base of regulars and is a popular stop for both locals and visitors, so the pace can be lively.
Our hours follow the daylight. We open with sunrise and close with sunset.
This is a hands-on role. The main focus is leading the front of house team and keeping the café running smoothly during service, while also working alongside the baristas. Strong barista skills and experience with specialty coffee are important.
Role includes
Leading the front of house team during daily service
Working the bar alongside the team
Training and guiding staff
Organizing schedules, holidays, and tips
Ordering daily supplies such as milk and coffee
Working with the GM on hiring and building the team
Passing on information between the team and management
We're looking for someone who
Has solid barista skills and experience working in a specialty coffee environment
Is naturally good with people and comfortable leading a team
Is organized and able to take responsibility for daily operations
Enjoys working in a busy café environment
Interest in natural wine is welcome, though not required
