Barista Application
Hi! I’m Meg and I’m the Creative Director and CEO here at Foliage.
But, if you’re here hopefully you already know that! Foliage LLC launched the Flower Cafe back in June of 2024, and we're finally ready to begin growing our team!
So, if we’re gonna work together, here are a few things you should know about me:
- I’m a Pisces and enneagram 5w4. Why is this relevant? I’m a big dreamer that needs a team of ready & willing, hard working people to help me make these visions come to life!
- Most important to me: Building a vibrant, helpful and kind team of humans from all walks of life, with all different strengths, values and beliefs is a core value of Foliage. The more diverse we are as humans, the stronger we are as a team!
- I want our team to enjoy the work! All of our time is precious. I want to spend mine working on things that I love. I would love for my team to feel the same way.
- I love real talk. Clear, consistent communication with my team is very important to me!
Sound like you? The Barista role will start at 12 hours a week and scale up as we do. Previous experience as a barista is not required, but definitely welcome!
Okay, Meg. I’m liking what I hear! So what would you need me to do?
