You don’t need to know coffee. But you do need to know how to get things done.

I barely drank coffee when I started my coffee business. So I’m not going to insist that you arrive knowing everything either. We’re looking for sharp, curious, hands-on people to work with the founder across our cafés, Korean restaurant, coffee beans and ice cream businesses.

What you could work on:
Making outlets run better
Growing coffee sales
Building partnerships
Improving customer experiences
Turning new ideas into actual businesses

Who we’re looking for:
Recent graduates, early-career applicants and career changers are welcome
Hospitality experience is welcome but not essential
You notice problems and take initiative
You’re comfortable with numbers and valuable with people
You follow through without repeated reminders
You’re willing to work on the floor as well as behind a laptop
You want responsibility and are keen to learn





You’ll learn directly from the founder. Some days involve spreadsheets; others involve customers, vendors and practical problem-solving.

Location and relocation

This is an in office role in Chennai, not remote. Applicants from Mumbai, Bengaluru and across India are welcome, but you must be willing to relocate to Chennai.

Compensation

Market-competitive salary based on capability and experience. Accommodation is ordinarily self-arranged; exceptional candidates may receive accommodation support, agreed upfront in the offer.

How to apply

Apply through LinkedIn with your CV, a short introduction, which business vertical interests you and why, and one example of something you took ownership of and improved at work, college or independently.
