CURRENT VACANCIES

  • Barista

    As a Barista at MINCKA, you’ll be the face of what we stand for: world-class coffee, warm welcomes, and effortless service. You’ll play a vital role in making every guest feel seen, and every coffee feel special. You’re the first hello, the calm in the rush, and the reason people come back day after day.

    We’re serious about coffee, fast service, and creating a daily ritual our guests look forward to. You’ll craft consistently great coffee, deliver genuine hospitality, and take pride in the small details that make MINCKA different.

    This is a full-time, hands-on role for someone who thrives in fast-paced service, brings great energy to the team, and never cuts corners.

  • Front of House

    At MINCKA, our Front of House team are the face of the experience. You’re the first smile, the calm voice in the rush, and the reason people feel instantly welcome.

    This role is all about delivering smooth service and genuine hospitality at every touchpoint. You play a central role in making every visit feel effortless and special.

    You’ll work closely with the baristas and kitchen team to keep everything running smoothly, and you’ll embody what MINCKA is known for: friendly, high-standard service in a fast-moving space.

  • Full-Time Prep Chef

    MINCKA Coffee is looking for a full-time Prep Chef to take charge of our small but mighty kitchen. This is a hands-on, solo-chef role. Perfect for someone with solid kitchen experience who loves being organised, working independently, and takes genuine pride in their prep.

    We're not a restaurant kitchen. There's no ticket machine, no à la carte service. Instead, our menu is all about quality grab-and-go food - think toasted sourdough toasted sandwiches, sandos, yoghurt & granola pots and smoothies - all prepped fresh using top-notch ingredients.

    You'll be part of a tight-knit team who care deeply about doing things well, treating each other with respect, and delivering something special every day.

    Requirements

    • At least 2 years experience in a professional kitchen

    • Confident working solo and handling the full morning prep routine
