Skills and experience employers value
Employers look for people who are reliable, upbeat, and attentive. Confidence with an espresso machine, milk texturing, and basic food service is ideal, but many cafés will train enthusiastic newcomers. Strong communication and time management are key, especially during the morning rush.
