The Role:
• To maximise sales of food and beverages within the café
• To manage the café staff and volunteer team alongside the Retail Shop Manager by providing guidance and direction to their efforts
• To support EACH retail in its ambition to be the most loved charity shop in our community
Experience of working with volunteers would be an advantage, however this role would also suit a candidate with high street café experience.
