Part-time Barista
About The Position
Check N’ Play is a thoughtfully designed, upscale play-café where families connect, recharge, and enjoy quality time together. Our café is central to that experience — serving specialty coffee, signature beverages, and curated fast-casual bites in a vibrant, high-energy environment. We are building a team of professionals who value accountability, consistency, and hospitality. This is not a casual coffee shop role — it requires reliability, composure under pressure, and pride in execution. Please only apply if you are fully available with no restrictions on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. These are required availability days. We are hiring an experienced Barista who thrives in a busy weekend environment and understands that showing up prepared, on time, and ready to execute is essential. Weekends are our highest-volume days. We need team members who can fully commit to supporting operations during these peak shifts.
