Amazing customer service will be second nature, you genuinely love people, love creating relationships with regulars and fostering new ones.

A multi-tasker under pressure, who presents every problem with a suggested solution

Experience in working alone on evening shifts from time-to-time and be able to handle yourself with difficult customers when required (our customers are awesome so very unlikely)
