Lead Barista Position @ the Red Whale
The Red Whale is looking to expand our team with a key position of “Lead Barista”. This position will be a position of leadership, responsibilty and growth.
“In English jargon, the term “barista” refers to one who has acquired some level of expertise in the preparation of espresso-based coffee drinks. Within certain circles, its meaning is expanding to include what might be called a “coffee sommelier;” a professional who is highly skilled in coffee preparation, with a comprehensive understanding of coffee, coffee blends, espresso, quality, coffee varieties, roast degree, espresso equipment, maintenance, latte art, etc.
The word barista (plural: baristi [masculine or mixed sex] or bariste [feminine]) is of Italian origin. In Italy, a barista is a “bartender,” who typically works behind a counter, serving both hot (such as espresso) and non-alcoholic beverages.
If this sounds like something you would be interested in and are willing to make the commitment, then give us a call or email us @ info@redwhalecoffee.com
Cheers,
The Red Whaler
