They are looking for Specialty Coffee Barista to become the ambassador of ultra-premium coffee at Surabaya's most exclusive F&B specialty brand. You'll master 200+ single-origin coffees and deliver theatrical service rituals that turn first-time guests into lifelong connoisseurs.

What you'll do:

Execute manual brew methods daily (Chemex, Siphon, Turkish ibrik) with laboratory precision.
Calibrate grinders and espresso machines hourly to maintain dosing accuracy.
Guide guests through origin storytelling (e.g., Ethiopian Yirgacheffe processing methods) while curating flights.
Maintain pristine station hygiene with 15-minute cleaning intervals during service.
Replenish curated pastry pairings (madeleines, canelés) synchronized with brew cycles.
Track coffee waste by gram and report hourly bean consumption to the head roaster.
Perform "coffee theatre" tableside service for VIP tables (flambéing spices, live grinding).
Achieve 90%+ positive feedback on mystery shopper evaluations.

What you'll need:

3+ years in specialty coffee (third-wave or luxury restaurants/hotel environments)
SCA Barista Level 2 certification (or equivalent)
Portfolio of latte art mastery (tulips, swans, intricate etchings)
Physical stamina: Lift 20kg coffee sacks, stand for 8-hour shifts
Fluency in English + Bahasa Indonesia for guest journeys

The ideal candidate will have:

Sensory hyperfocus: Detect a 0.3s over-extraction by sound/aroma.
Performance charisma: Transform coffee service into captivating storytelling.
️ Gram-scale discipline: Weigh every output (grounds, waste, yield).
Connoisseur intuition: Recommend a Sumatra Mandheling to cut through chocolate soufflé.
Bonus: Experience with aged/experimental coffees (wine-barrel ferments, anaerobic).
