Job Description

Interlude Coffee & Tea is a cafe in TriBeCa, known for specialty coffee, matcha, tea, and in-house baked pastries. We take pride in our top quality standards that we hold ourselves to, and we’re looking for a dedicated team member who shares these values. At Interlude, we believe in doing things the right way—from how we craft each drink to how we maintain a seamless cafe environment. You’ll be part of a team that values attention to detail, efficiency, genuine hospitality, and teamwork. This job is challenging, but rewarding—perfect for those who thrive in a fast-paced, high-intensity setting and want to develop real skills in specialty coffee and hospitality.

What We’re Looking For

  • Candidates must be able to move quickly and maintain a strong sense of urgency without sacrificing accuracy or quality.
  • The ability to stay calm, focused, and efficient under stress is critical, as the cafe operates at a consistently high volume.
  • Every detail matters, and employees are expected to follow precise recipes and procedures to ensure consistency.
  • This role requires a strong work ethic, the ability to stay on task without constant supervision, and a commitment to maintaining a clean and organized workspace.
  • Hospitality is just as important as technical skills, and applicants must be able to provide excellent customer service while working efficiently.
  • We are looking for people who want to grow with the company and can commit to a long-term role.

Responsibilities

  • Employees are responsible for providing a welcoming and professional customer experience while maintaining speed and efficiency.
  • Drink preparation must be executed with precision, following all recipes and standards to ensure consistency in every order.
  • The cafe must always be kept spotless, which includes dishwashing, wiping surfaces, restocking, and keeping everything organized throughout the shift.
  • Employees must be able to handle high-pressure situations, stay composed, and keep up with demand, especially during peak hours.
  • Communication and teamwork are essential, and everyone is expected to support one another to keep operations running smoothly and maintain a positive environment.
  • All procedures and standards must be followed exactly as trained, with no shortcuts or deviations.

What We Offer

  • We provide structured, comprehensive, hands-on training on coffee, tea, and matcha to ensure everyone if fully educated in these crafts.  
  • No prior coffee experience is required, but a willingness to learn and master your craft is essential.
  • We believe in promoting from within. Team members who demonstrate dedication and skill have potential to move into more advanced roles.
  • You’ll work with people who care about quality, operate with efficiency, and take pride in their work. 

Scheduling Requirements  

  • This is a full-time position requiring 35-40 hours per week across five shifts.
  • Shifts are typically 7-10 hours long and may start as early as 6:30 a.m. or end as late as 6:00 p.m.
  • Applicants must be available for a consistent schedule over an extended period.
  • We do not offer flexible or part-time scheduling at this time.  

How to Apply

Applicants must submit:

  • A resume detailing relevant experience.
  • A cover letter
  • Your scheduling availability

Applications missing any of these requirements will not be considered.
