3. Equipment Calibration & Bar Maintenance:

· Operate, clean, and backflush commercial espresso machines, clean steam wands, grinder burrs, and water filtration systems daily.

· Execute proper opening and closing sanitation routines across the coffee bar station, knock boxes, and refrigeration units.

4. Bar Inventory Control & Junior Staff Guidance (Sr. Barista):
