About the Role
We’re looking for a Catering Assistant to join our team in a busy, fast-paced café environment. The role mainly involves serving customers, handling busy rush periods, food preparation, and supporting the smooth day-to-day running of the café.
There is also the opportunity to progress into key holder responsibilities over time for the right candidate.
You may also be involved in preparing barista-made drinks. Previous experience with coffee or espresso machines would be advantageous, however it is not essential as full guidance and support will be provided.
This role would suit someone who enjoys a hands-on job, works well under pressure, and is comfortable being part of a fast-moving, energetic team. Previous experience in hospitality or a customer-facing role is beneficial, particularly in high-volume environments.
Requirements
Previous experience in hospitality or catering
Confident serving customers and handling orders
Available to work weekends
Comfortable working in an extremely fast-paced, high-volume environment
Reliable, punctual, and able to work well under pressure
About the Company
Upper Krust is a well-established, high-volume café based in Glasgow’s East End. We’re known for quick service, quality food, and a constant flow of customers throughout the day. This is not a quiet café environment – we operate at a very fast pace, especially during peak periods, and efficiency is key to how we work.
We offer a supportive, hands-on workplace where team members learn quickly, stay active, and gain solid experience in a real-world hospitality setting. Shifts are busy and energetic, and time flies by, making this role ideal for someone who enjoys working under pressure and being part of a fast-moving team.
If you’ve worked in a city-centre café, busy coffee shop, or any high-footfall food environment, you’ll understand the pace and thrive here.
