Specialty Coffee Barista (Luxury Coffee Experience)

Backed by one of the biggest conglomerate groups in Indonesia, our customer is building one of the most exciting F&B specialty brands in Surabaya. They are looking for Specialty Coffee Barista to become the ambassador of ultra-premium coffee at Surabaya's most exclusive F&B specialty brand. You'll master 200+ single-origin coffees and deliver theatrical service rituals that turn first-time guests into lifelong connoisseurs.

What you'll do:

• Execute manual brew methods daily (Chemex, Siphon, Turkish ibrik) with laboratory precision.
• Calibrate grinders and espresso machines hourly to maintain dosing accuracy.
• Guide guests through origin storytelling (e.g., Ethiopian Yirgacheffe processing methods) while curating flights.
• Maintain pristine station hygiene with 15-minute cleaning intervals during service.
• Replenish curated pastry pairings (madeleines, canelés) synchronized with brew cycles.
• Track coffee waste by gram and report hourly bean consumption to the head roaster.
• Perform "coffee theatre" tableside service for VIP tables (flambéing spices, live grinding).
• Achieve 90%+ positive feedback on mystery shopper evaluations.

What you'll need:

• 3+ years in specialty coffee (third-wave or luxury restaurants/hotel environments)
• SCA Barista Level 2 certification (or equivalent)
• Portfolio of latte art mastery (tulips, swans, intricate etchings)
• Physical stamina: Lift 20kg coffee sacks, stand for 8-hour shifts
• Fluency in English + Bahasa Indonesia for guest journeys

The ideal candidate will have:

• Sensory hyperfocus: Detect a 0.3s over-extraction by sound/aroma.
• Performance charisma: Transform coffee service into captivating storytelling.
• ️Gram-scale discipline: Weigh every output (grounds, waste, yield).
• Connoisseur intuition: Recommend a Sumatra Mandheling to cut through chocolate soufflé.
• Bonus: Experience with aged/experimental coffees (wine-barrel ferments, anaerobic).
