Front of House Café Assistant – Columbus Coffee Warkworth

Who We Are
At Columbus Coffee, we’re all about great food, expertly crafted coffee, and creating a welcoming café experience for our local communities. As one of New Zealand’s most recognized café brands, we serve premium coffee and fresh, delicious meals inside Mitre 10 and Mitre 10 MEGA stores nationwide.

Our Warkworth café is a go-to spot for locals to relax, refuel, and catch up. With a focus on great service and genuine connection, we serve up classic Kiwi breakfasts, tasty lunches, and top-tier barista coffee with a smile.

Joining Columbus Coffee means becoming part of a world-class café group backed by strong national support, training, and opportunities for growth.

The Role
We’re looking for a Front of House legend to join our Warkworth team on a permanent, part-time basis. You’ll play a key role in keeping our café buzzing—greeting customers, delivering food and drinks, clearing tables, and making sure every guest feels welcome.

This role is not for the faint of heart—we’re a busy spot, especially on weekends, so you’ll need to keep calm under pressure, move quickly, and stay cheerful no matter how long the coffee line is.

You must live locally and have previous front of house/café experience to hit the ground running.

Who You Are

• ⚡ You’re quick on your feet, confident under pressure, and ready to jump in
  
• 😊 You’re warm, friendly, and naturally good with people
  
• 📆 You’re available for regular weekend and weekday shifts
  
• 🏡 You're a Warkworth local (or live nearby) and know the community well

Why Join Us?

• Generous staff purchase scheme at select Columbus Café’s and Mitre 10 stores!
• Fun, supportive team culture with ongoing training
• Great work-life balance with set part-time hours
• Be part of a well-loved, community-focused café brand
