Now Hiring – Join Our Team at Sophie’s Cafe!
We’re looking for friendly, reliable, motivated, and creative individuals to join our team! No prior cafe experience? That’s okay—as long as you bring a positive attitude, learn fast, and thrive in a fast-paced, often high-energy environment, we’ll teach you the rest.
Pay & Growth:
With tips, average pay ranges from $15–$17/hr. We value growth—employees who show reliability, initiative, and leadership may have opportunities for additional responsibilities, shift leadership, and future management roles.

💡 Perks & Benefits:

  • One free drink + meal per shift
  • Employee discounts on meals, drinks, and retail—even on your day off
  • Opportunities for skill development and cross-training
  • A team culture that values hustle, kindness, and creativity

📅 Availability Requirements:

To set you up for success, we ask for:

  • 4–5 shifts/week during training (initial 2–3 weeks)
  • Minimum of 3 shifts/week after training, including weekends
  • Sunday availability is strongly preferred. (At least 2 Sundays/month required for most positions.)

If you’re unable to work Sundays, this may not be the best fit at this time.

⏰ Current Openings:

  • Early morning shifts – as early as 5 AM
  • Midday shifts – 6 AM–2 PM, 7 AM–3 PM
  • Afternoon shifts – 1 PM–7 PM
    (Shift times may vary slightly.)

☕ What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Greeting guests and taking orders with genuine hospitality
  • Making and serving drinks with accuracy and speed
  • Promoting and recommending menu items
  • Operating the register and handling transactions
  • Keeping the cafe clean, stocked, and organized
  • Learning kitchen prep and light baking
  • Washing dishes, sweeping, and restocking
  • Assisting with inventory and ordering as needed

🧠 What We’re Looking For:

  • Strong multitasking skills and grace under pressure
  • A warm, upbeat, and dependable presence
  • Excellent communication and customer service instincts
  • Quick learning and recipe accuracy
  • A team-first attitude and self-motivation during slow times
  • Consistency and punctuality are a must

✉️ Application Process:

We review all applications carefully, but we do not follow up on incomplete submissions or those that don’t match our shift requirements. If your availability changes, feel free to reapply. Applications are kept on file for two months.
