Breakfast Waitron (Hotel Restaurant)

Guests at this busy mall coffee shop in Newcastle come back for the people, and you'll be one of the reasons. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The site is in Newcastle; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Mix cocktails, pour draught and serve shooters to spec at the bar.
• Pull espresso shots and steam milk for flat whites and cappuccinos.
