Job Description
Benefits:
- Employee discounts
Cashier / Barista — Pit Stop Cafe
About the Role
Country Waffles management is expanding! Pit Stop Cafe is a newly opened, Proudly Pouring Peet's Coffee location inside a car dealership in Livermore. We're in our early days and building something — if you like being part of a small operation from the ground up rather than a cog in a large chain, this is a good fit for you
The pace is relaxed and conversational. You'll get to know your regulars, work independently, and take real ownership of your shift. Personality matters here — our customers are dealership staff and guests, and a warm, upbeat presence makes a real difference in their experience.
Responsibilities
- Greet every customer with a cheerful, welcoming attitude
- Take orders and guide customers through the menu — make recommendations, suggest add-ons, and look for natural opportunities to upsell
- Prepare espresso-based drinks, lattes, frappés, matcha, chai, and cold brew
- Prepare made-to-order food items including breakfast bowls, egg sliders, and avocado toast; heat-and-serve items using microwave and warming oven
- Operate the Toast POS system — take orders, process payments, record order details accurately
- Keep the café clean and presentable at all times — equipment, counters, floors, and the overall customer-facing space — not just your immediate work area
- Restock supplies and flag inventory needs to the owner/manager
Qualifications
- Outgoing, friendly personality — this is a front-facing role and attitude matters as much as skill
- Customer service experience preferred; café or food service background a plus
- Comfortable suggesting items and upselling naturally without being pushy
- Food Handler's Certification (or ability to obtain within 30 days of hire)
- Comfortable learning café equipment — we provide training
- Reliable and punctual — showing up consistently is essential
- Professional demeanor; you'll be representing a licensed Peet's Coffee brand inside an active dealership
- Able to stand for the duration of a shift and work in a compact space
Schedule & Compensation
- Part-time: Monday–Saturday, 7 AM–12 PM
- Hours will expand as we grow into lunch service — opportunity to take on more as the café builds
- California minimum wage + tips
- Employee discount on all café purchases
