You bring the passion, intention, and beauty of matcha to life while creating moments of genuine connection for every guest.

  • Enthusiastic about matcha. The world of matcha is huge, so you should be curious about its benefits, flavor profiles, and methods of preparation.
  • Detail Oriented. Take pride in your craft and ensure Vale's quality is consistent and repeatable.
  • Hospitality focused. Creating drinks is only part of the equation, providing top tier customer service is what gets people returning again and again.

You'll maintain deep knowledge of matcha origins, flavor profiles, caffeine content, and benefits. Uphold beverage recipes, quality standards, and visual presentation.
  • Create a haven for matcha lovers. You will welcome every guest with warmth, presence, and genuine enthusiasm. Educate guests on matcha with confidence and approachability and guide first-time matcha drinkers and seasoned enthusiasts alike. The expectation is to create a calm and inviting atmosphere through mindful service.
  • Maintain health, safety, and Vale standards. Maintain a clean, organized, and beautiful bar space. Follow all food safety, sanitation, and opening/closing procedures. You'll support smooth cafe flow during both quiet and high-volume moments, and always arrive on time.
  • Represent the Vale brand. You are the first person at Vale many people interact with, and it is important to be a positive representative of Vale as it grows. You are expected to understand Vale's history, company values, and why we love matcha.
  • Be a part of a team. We want you to come as you are, but expect that you treat coworkers with kindness, respect, and professionalism at all times. Vale is a growing company chasing a common goal, and we rely on each other to grow together to get there.

Qualifications
