Très LA Bistro & Café is a daytime café inside the Pacific Design Center. We serve Intelligentsia espresso and drip coffee, Mariage Frères teas, matcha, smoothies, and fresh pastries to the designers, showroom teams, and visitors who come through the building every day. We are a small team that cares about getting the details right, and we are looking for baristas who feel the same way.

The schedule

•  The café is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM.

•  You will work 3 to 4 shifts a week, which is about 21 to 28 hours.

•  Shifts are about 7 hours and fall between 7:30 AM and 5:00 PM.

•  Three baristas share the week, so we ask for some flexibility to pick up a shift when a teammate is out.

What you will do

•  Rotate through three positions: register, espresso, and smoothies, pastries, and lobby.

•  Make espresso drinks, tea lattes, and smoothies to our written recipes, with a scale and a thermometer every time.

•  Steam milk to a smooth microfoam and pour latte art.

•  Greet every guest, take orders on Toast, and keep the line moving during our 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM peak.

•  Open or close your own station from a checklist, including daily cleaning, restocking, and prep for the next day.

•  Follow food safety, allergen, and sanitizer standards without being reminded.

What we are looking for

•  Experience making espresso drinks on a commercial machine, including dialing in a grinder.

•  A warm, polished way with guests, even when you are three drinks deep.

•  Someone who likes structure. Every drink has a written recipe and every station has a checklist. If you stay organized and follow the systems, this is an easy job.

•  Able to arrive reliably for an 8:00 AM start, and to pick up a shift on short notice when a teammate is out. The team is small, so every person counts.

•  A California Food Handler Card, or the ability to get one within 30 days of hire.

•  The ability to stand for a full shift and lift up to 50 pounds.

Uniform: Presentation is a big part of our café. Our uniform is a clean, pressed white button-up shirt, full-length black pants (no jeans, leggings, or athletic pants), and black closed-toe non-slip shoes, with hair neat and secured off the face and shoulders.

Pay: $21 per hour plus tips. Tips are shared among a small team of three, so each person's share is meaningful.

Perks

•  Paid on-site parking at the Pacific Design Center.

•  A drink and a baked good on every shift.

•  No weekends, and all major holidays off.

•  Accrued paid sick time.

•  Team discounts.
