Café Manager – Pontypridd

£31,000 per annum • 5 out of 7 days • 40 hours per week

Simple moments, made special.

Great coffee. Freshly baked pastries. Proper food done well. Taste Café is all about creating those small, everyday moments people look forward to—a quick coffee that turns into a catch‑up, a bite to eat that hits the spot, a space that feels easy, comfortable, and just right.

Set within a busy retail environment, this café is fast‑paced yet full of personality. A local, welcoming spot people love to return to.

The Role

If you’ve run a café, retail unit, or fast‑paced food environment this is a chance to make it your own.

We’re looking for a Café Manager who brings energy, sets the tone, and turns a busy café into a place people genuinely enjoy every time they visit.

You’ll lead from the front, build a strong team, and keep everything running smoothly from the morning coffee rush to the last clean‑down of the day.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Running the café day‑to‑day, keeping things smooth, organised and on point
• Leading and developing a team that delivers great service and enjoys doing it
• Maintaining high standards across food, coffee and presentation
• Managing stock, performance and the overall operation
• Creating a space that feels warm, relaxed and welcoming
• Driving consistency—because the little details matter
• Ensuring Health & Safety is always spot on

About You

If you’ve run a café, retail unit or fast‑paced food environment, you’re perfect for this role.

• Someone who leads from the front and sets the pace
• Big on people—both your team and your customers
• Organised, proactive and calm under pressure
• Passionate about good food, great coffee and doing things properly
• Comfortable owning performance and making things better

Why This Role

It’s a chance to shape a space people return to—for the coffee, the food, and the ambience. You’ll have real ownership, support from a wider business, and the opportunity to build something that feels like yours.
