Harbour Street Café
Dear Hiring Manager,
I am applying for the Barista position at Harbour Street Café that you have advertised in the window. I currently prepare coffee and hot drinks to a consistent standard at a fast-paced independent café, taking orders and processing payments accurately at the till during busy service. I also enjoy getting to know regular customers and take pride in remembering their usual order.
During a Saturday morning rush with a long queue out of the door, I kept drink quality consistent while working through orders quickly, and a regular customer commented that the service had stayed friendly despite how busy we were. I also restock ingredients, rotate stock to reduce waste, and keep the coffee machine and counter clean throughout shifts.
I would like to work at Harbour Street Café because I enjoy its relaxed, community feel whenever I visit, and I would take pride in being part of that atmosphere. I hold a basic food hygiene certificate and I am available for weekday, weekend and early morning shifts.
I would welcome the chance to discuss the role with you and thank you for considering my application.
Kind regards,
Josh Miller
