About this role

The barista is the whole experience at Chai Bhai. You are the one grinding the spice in small batches, judging the boil, and handing over the glass. Most of our regulars know the person who makes their chai long before they know the brand.

This is a hands-on counter role on a rotating shift. Full training on our blends and method is given, so we care more about care and consistency than about years behind a counter.

Responsibilities

  • Brew every order to our recipe: fresh spice, proper Ceylon leaves, no shortcuts on the boil.
  • Grind and prepare spice blends in small batches through the day so nothing sits.
  • Keep the counter, equipment and display clean and service-ready at all times.
  • Handle orders and payments, and keep the queue moving at peak hours.
  • Flag stock running low on tea, milk or spice before it runs out.

Requirements

  • Comfortable on your feet through a full shift, including weekends and evenings.
  • Careful and consistent: the hundredth cup of the day has to taste like the first.
  • Clear, warm English or Sinhala with customers; both is a bonus.
  • Food-handling awareness, or the willingness to be trained and certified.
  • Previous café or counter experience is welcome but genuinely not required.

What we offer

  • Full training on our spice blends and brewing method.
  • Staff chai on every shift, and a discount on packaged teas.
  • A first look at supervisor roles as new counters open.
