Jobs that TampTamp are currently looking to fill for other companies

Barista
At TampTamp, we have a motto we live by: Make great coffee. Be nice about it. To us, this means that coffee must be equal parts preparation and customer service. We are constantly on the lookout for great baristas. Whether a seasoned professional or a coffee-fanatic with little to no experience, we want to talk to you. A barista’s job is to serve customers (coffee, tea, pastries), create a pleasing environment (clean, warm, unobtrusive), and uphold the values of the cafe they work in. A barista working with TampTamp works hard, learns constantly, and is nice about it.

Head/Lead Barista
a head/lead barista has all the skills necessary to work in a cafe, has the experience necessary to do every job, and is ready to move to a more supervisory role. The head/lead barista acts as shift supervisor by managing other baristas on duty, making sure everything gets done, and handling customer issues in a friendly, customer-centric manner. The head/lead barista understands that while the customer may not always be right, the customer must always be heard. The lead barista has ample barista experience, with a skill-set that enables them to work calmly and efficiently under pressure while still maintaining the highest standards of quality. A Lead barista will be comfortable with many coffee preparation styles and be able to relate them to employees in an open and effective way.

Director of Coffee
The Director of Coffee position is another step in the chain. Stepping back some from day-to-day activities, the director of coffee is responsible for the vision of the cafe. Director of Coffee activities include:

  • sourcing new, interesting coffees for retail sales
  • ongoing training and new initiatives
  • determining the scope and vision of cafe, and enacting new projects
  • light equipment maintenance and upkeep

Cafe Trainer
In a cafe, nothing is as important to the success of the cafe as a well-trained staff. A great cafe trainer can not only make great coffee, but can explain it to others in a clear and concise manner. Cafe trainers understand that the learning process is never complete and is always seeking to explore the many facets of coffee preparation, customer service, and ingenuity that presents itself every day. Coffee is one of the oldest, but least understood industries in the world and there is always something new to learn. The cafe trainer will not only work with baristas on shift but will also schedule time to work with each barista one-on-one to help them develop and grow.

Cafe Manager
The cafe manager makes everything work together. The best managers work well with numbers, budgets, and scheduling and focus less on the coffee and more on the operations of the cafe. A great manager understands that in order for a cafe to function well, it must make a profit, and can balance the needs of the cafe with the needs of the baristas and customers. The ideal manager has several years cafe operations experience, but because this position is less about working behind a bar and more about making the cafe run smoothly and efficiently, this is a good opportunity for business minded coffee people to break into the industry without years of coffee experience.
