Carleton Place, Canada Foundry Collective & Coffee Bar Full time

**Now Hiring: Barista & Kitchen Assistant**

**Carleton Place, Ontario**:

- Part-time position | Must have Smart Serve certification_

Foundry Collective & Coffee Bar is a locally-loved café in the heart of Carleton Place, serving up high-end specialty coffee, gourmet sandwiches, freshly baked pastries and desserts, and comforting seasonal soups. We’re a tight-knit team that thrives on connection—both with each other and with our amazing community.

We’re currently looking for someone who’s as passionate about quality coffee and fresh food as we are. This hybrid role includes both **barista work** and **kitchen support**, so if you love being on your feet, multitasking, and making someone’s day one cup (or cookie) at a time, this might be the perfect fit.

**The Role**

As a Barista & Kitchen Assistant, you’ll play a key part in both the front-of-house and back-of-house experience. You’ll serve up handcrafted drinks, prep light food, and keep our café clean, organized, and welcoming. Every drink you craft and every task you tackle contributes to the warm, elevated experience our customers know and love.

**What You’ll Do**
- Create consistently high-quality drinks while offering friendly, fast, and engaging customer service
- Offer thoughtful recommendations for coffee, tea, and treats
- Keep the café clean, well-stocked, and beautifully merchandised
- Prep ingredients, assist with baking, and help with kitchen tasks like sandwich and soup prep
- Maintain a safe and tidy workspace in line with food safety and health standards
- Support your teammates, pitch in where needed, and help create a positive work environment
- Lift and carry items such as milk crates and other café/kitchen supplies as required
- Follow all café procedures, contribute to minimizing waste, and protect company assets

**What We’re Looking For**
- **Smart Serve certification is required**:

- **Able to safely lift a heavy milk crate**:

- Food Handler’s Certification is an asset (but not required)
- At least 1 year of experience in a café, kitchen, or similar hospitality setting
- Passion for coffee, food, and creating memorable customer experiences
- Strong multitasking skills and the ability to stay organized in a busy environment
- Positive attitude, willingness to learn, and ability to take initiative
- Friendly and respectful communicator who enjoys working as part of a team
- Comfortable with physically active work (standing, bending, lifting, moving around)

**You’ll Thrive Here If You**
- Love connecting with people and making them feel welcome
- Enjoy being part of a hardworking, supportive team
- Take pride in your work and value quality over shortcuts
- Are adaptable, reliable, and open to feedback
- Believe that small touches—like a perfectly foamed cappuccino or a warm smile—go a long way

**Why Work With Us?**

At Foundry, we care deeply about our team and our community. We offer a warm, inclusive environment, ongoing training, and a place where your work genuinely matters. Plus: great coffee, good vibes, and the occasional staff cookie.

**Job Type**: Part-time

Pay: From $17.20 per hour

Expected hours: 10 - 20 per week

**Benefits**:

- Casual dress
- Company events
- Discounted or free food
- Flexible schedule
- Store discount
