Senior Barista & All Rounder

Join FRÈD CAFÉ, premium French boutique. We are seeking a part time role (around 25 hours per week) to master both our specialty coffee and gourmet food station in our DUN LAOGHAIRE location (Dublin South county)

This is a dual-role: you must be as comfortable preparing gourmet sandwiches and crêpes as you are pulling shots. If you are 'coffee-only', this is not the role for you. We are looking for a reliable professional.

WHY PROFESSIONALS CHOOSE FRED

• Significant Tips: Daily addition to base pay via our refined, integrated POS system.
• Anti-Routine Environment: A stimulating 360° role where your skills are utilized across all areas of the boutique.
• Work-Life Balance: Day shifts only (finish by 7pm max). No late-night hospitality burnout.
• Growth: A stable, premium setting with a focus on quality and a discerning clientele.

THE MISSION: LEADERSHIP & EXECUTION You will be the guardian of our standards. This is a hands-on role requiring the ability to maintain flawless operations when the Manager is off-duty.

• Specialty Coffee Authority: Full autonomy on dialing in recipes, maintaining grind consistency, and executing high-standard latte art.
• Beyond the Machine (The Full Artisan Scope): At FRED, we believe a true professional masters the entire guest experience. You are as comfortable and precise in the refined preparation of our French gourmet menu (sandwiches, crepes, ice-cream...) as you are behind the espresso machine. This versatility ensures a dynamic, engaging workday—far from the monotony of mono-tasking.
• Premium Service: Engaging with customers in a warm, articulate, and professional manner, reflecting the FRED brand.

REQUIREMENTS – CAREER PROS ONLY

• Experience: Minimum 2 years of professional experience in a busy, high-quality hospitality environment.
• Technical Autonomy: Fully operational on specialty coffee equipment and HACCP standards.
• References: Professional references from previous long-term employers will be requested.
