Coffee Bar Manager

This summer, Suspicious Antwerp opens a coffee bar in Knokke, and we're looking for someone to truly make it their own.

You don't need to be a seasoned barista. You do need to really get hospitality, know how a smooth bar runs, and be able to organize the whole thing and keep it going. Entrepreneurial, hands-on, and proud of a clean spot, a happy team and happy guests.

Not a cog in a big chain, but the person who runs the bar as if it were theirs: open up in the morning, keep everything flowing, lead the team, give guests a great coffee and an even better feeling, and close the day satisfied.

There might be more, we'll see ;)

• →

  Run the coffee bar day to day: opening, closing, and everything in between

• →

  Lead and coordinate the team of students and flexi-workers: scheduling, briefing, and keeping the standards (and the vibe) up

• →

  Welcome and serve guests with a smile, even when it's busy

• →

  Take care of the coffee and the small menu, with an eye for quality and presentation

• →

  Keep stock, orders and freshness on track

• →

  Keep the bar clean, hygienic and on point

• →

  Keep things organized so the bar simply runs

• You really understand hospitality and how a bar runs (barista experience is a plus, not a must)

• You can organize and run a bar end to end, and keep your head when it gets busy

• Experience leading or coordinating a small team (a plus if it was students or flexi-workers)

• An entrepreneurial, independent mindset: you fix things without being asked twice

• Customer-focused and always friendly, even on a busy summer day

• Hands-on, organized and reliable

• Ideally someone from (around) Knokke

• Fluent in Dutch and English (both a must); French is a plus for the tourists

• Available this summer, maybe longer

• Barista or hospitality experience

• Experience independently running a place or a shift

• Affinity with Suspicious Antwerp and the streetwear DNA

A brand that dares and moves fast, and is now stepping into the coffee world too. A lot of freedom, real responsibility, and work that's visible every day, right in front of the guest. A summer in Knokke where you can genuinely build something.
