NEW Vegan Cafe Seeks Barista, Cook & Dish: $11.5 and Tips

Vacancy expired!

The Lightbox Cafe is what happens when a sustainability activist and an industry professional open their dream shop. We are just getting started; and we need your help. We are an alternative cafe experience featuring espresso drinks, cold-pressed juice, smoothies, bowls, desserts, and more on our menu. We intend to cultivate a calendar of events to fuel community and connection— in a more healthy way because of our offering of kava kava and other euphoric teas instead of alcohol.

Pay starts at $10 per hour during training, increasing depending on expertise and performance plus pooled tips, and other perks. Each employee will earn $15/hr before tips as soon as feasibly possible: once we have stabilized this operation! We would love for you to grow with us!

This week begins our sixth week of operations and the take-off has been quite rad. (https://www.inquirer.com/food/kava-lightbox-vegan-cafe-philadelphia-20211005.html?outputType=amp)

In order to expand our hours to we need at least one additional staff person at all hours. We are seeking a few bright beings to help man the ship as we blast off.

The Lightbox Cafe seeks an afternoon/evening dish/prep person, a midday cook, and an early morning barista.

:::early morning barista to manage smoothie and coffee production as well as to take orders and interface w/ customers; experience with coffee drinks or smoothies or cold pressed juice is a huge plus

::midday kitchen support to put together beautiful grain bowls and avocado toasts, as well as some prep work with plants—knife and playing experience a huge plus

:evening prep and dish person to manage the cleanliness and of the entire space during the evening kava bar hours as well as some basic prep work of menu ingredients. This position would work a combination of afternoon and evenings, with more evening hours being added over the coming weeks/months.

:::PART TIME and FULL TIME available:::

(if willing to combine any of these positions)

: : :

In short: Our menu consists of vegan foods and herbal elixirs. We'd love for you to be stoked on plant based cuisine, cold pressed juice, raw snacks, vegan treats, herbal remedies, at least to some extent, so that you're happy to be here :)

We are located in the heart of Queen Village, in the hamlet south of the center of Bainbridge Green. The place is handmade by us from the ground up and quite unique. We are the home of Jaya Kava, and in effect: Philadelphia's first kava kava bar. But also! We have a large menu of delicious grain and smoothie bowls, avocado toasts, juices, teas, desserts, and more.

Additionally, we will partner with other outside chefs (Like Amy of Amy's Pastelillo's, Mel of Sri's Company, and Amy of Kampar Kitchen) for pop-up vegan dinner events, to complement and support the forthcoming euphoric tea bar evening hours.

And to go further in our hopes: When you are not killing the game behind the counter, maybe you also get down with art, music, spirituality, cosmology, astrology, social justice, new economics, yoga, etc etc etc not required but a plus!
