Job Details:

There and Back Cafe is a Downtown Sacramento board game, fantasy-themed cafe. Business is booming, so we’re looking for another cafe crew member to staff (mostly) our evening crew (Thurs, Fri, Sat). Our ideal candidate should also be able to work other shifts as necessary. Experience with coffee is not necessary, and we can train, but experience in a cafe environment will push you to the top of the candidate list.

If there is one thing to impress upon applicants is that you must be comfortable working Downtown. This is a city job for a city person. Driving and parking Downtown should not be an issue for you. There is a security-patrolled parking garage across the street, and we offer parking at only $3 per day. Alternatively, Light Rail lets off extremely close to the cafe.

There and Back Cafe is brought to Sacramento by the owners of Capital Books (next to the Crest Theater). This new space brings our community together for a safe place to enjoy fandom, cosplay, and exploration of new games (or finding people to play with).

What Makes Us Different:

For starters, we’re unique in that our environment is laid-back. Customers are typically coming to settle in with a multi-hour-long game, which makes food service less frenzied. We offer a positive and empowering space for you to thrive. 

Perks:

  • Paid time off.
  • Select paid holidays for any shift you were scheduled for that falls on a holiday.
  • 30% off of any purchases at There and Back Cafe and Capital Books.
  • One complimentary meal and beverage per shift at There and Back Cafe.
  • $3/day parking in a security-patroled garage across the street.
  • Access to an ever-growing collection of tabletop games. (If you finish your duties, we encourage our employees to engage in exploring, and learning, our many types of gaming activities as a way to become more familiar with our offerings and, time-permitting, kick-start a customer’s game by giving them an overview of it or suggesting games you, personally, enjoy).

Compensation:

This is a tipped position. You’ll equally share shift tips with whomever else is working. Compensation starts at $16.00 per hour.

 

COVID-19 Requirements:

Must be fully vaccinated with current boosters. Please bring proof of vaccination to the interview.
