Cafe manager / executive Department: Hotel and restaurant operations
Experience: Minimum 2 years

The Hosteller is India's largest self-operated backpacker hostel chain, with 70+ properties across North and South India. We are a people-first brand built around travel, community and shared experiences. Our cafes sit at the heart of that. This role runs the cafe as a business, not a service station. You own an 80 to 100 cover outlet attached to a backpacker hostel, serving a crowd of in-house travellers and walk-in guests, from early breakfast through to late evening.

The scope covers the full outlet: floor service and guest experience, kitchen coordination and food quality, menu and pricing execution, food cost and wastage, inventory and purchase, hygiene and statutory compliance, cash and billing accuracy, and the cafe team itself. Everything runs on documented SOPs, a QR-based digital menu and ordering system, and the GO dashboard, so accurate records matter as much as positive food.

Executive, 2 to 4 years - Runs shifts independently on the floor and in the kitchen pass.
