Cashier / Barista — Pit Stop Cafe

About the Role

Country Waffles management is expanding! Pit Stop Cafe is a newly opened, Proudly Pouring Peet's Coffee location inside a car dealership in Livermore. We're in our early days and building something — if you like being part of a small operation from the ground up rather than a cog in a large chain, this is a good fit for you

The pace is relaxed and conversational. You'll get to know your regulars, work independently, and take real ownership of your shift. Personality matters here — our customers are dealership staff and guests, and a warm, upbeat presence makes a real difference in their experience.

Responsibilities

Greet every customer with a cheerful, welcoming attitude

Take orders and guide customers through the menu — make recommendations, suggest add-ons, and look for natural opportunities to upsell

Prepare espresso-based drinks, lattes, frappés, matcha, chai, and cold brew

Prepare made-to-order food items including breakfast bowls, egg sliders, and avocado toast; heat-and-serve items using microwave and warming oven

Operate the Toast POS system — take orders, process payments, record order details accurately

Keep the café clean and presentable at all times — equipment, counters, floors, and the overall customer-facing space — not just your immediate work area

Restock supplies and flag inventory needs to the owner/manager

Qualifications

Outgoing, friendly personality — this is a front-facing role and attitude matters as much as skill

Customer service experience preferred; café or food service background a plus

Comfortable suggesting items and upselling naturally without being pushy

Food Handler's Certification (or ability to obtain within 30 days of hire)

Comfortable learning café equipment — we provide training

Reliable and punctual — showing up consistently is essential

Professional demeanor; you'll be representing a licensed Peet's Coffee brand inside an active dealership

Able to stand for the duration of a shift and work in a compact space

Schedule & Compensation

Part-time: Monday–Saturday, 7 AM–12 PM

Hours will expand as we grow into lunch service — opportunity to take on more as the café builds
