About Check N’ Play 

Check N’ Play is more than a play space—it’s a thoughtfully designed destination where families can connect, play, and recharge. Our café is at the heart of this experience, offering expertly crafted specialty coffee, signature drinks, and a carefully curated selection of snacks and fast-casual bites, creating a welcoming space for parents and caregivers to relax while their little ones explore. 

We’re looking for a passionate, experienced, and engaging Barista to join our team, someone who takes pride in their craft and thrives in a dynamic, high-energy setting. This is not your average coffee shop gig—this is a role where hospitality, creativity, and precision come together to create something extraordinary. 

What You'll Do

  • Craft exceptional beverages – Brew high-quality espresso-based drinks, teas, and seasonal specialty beverages with precision and artistry. 
  • Deliver a premium customer experience – Engage warmly with customers, anticipate their needs, and build connections that make Check N’ Play a destination. 
  • Maintain a top-tier café environment – Keep the space clean, organized, and stocked while ensuring that every drink meets our quality standards. 
  • Educate & inspire – Share your passion for coffee and specialty drinks, guiding customers through our menu and making personalized recommendations. 
  • Support daily café operations – Assist with register transactions, food preparation, stocking, and opening/closing duties. 
  • Adapt and elevate – Embrace our evolving beverage program, including the eventual introduction of beer and wine service, and maintain responsible alcohol service (once licensed). 

What We’re Looking For 

  • Minimum 1 year of experience in specialty coffee or craft beverage service – You know your way around an espresso machine and can pour a solid latte art. 
  • Passion for hospitality & customer service – A friendly, outgoing personality with the ability to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. 
  • Strong work ethic & attention to detail – Consistency and quality are key in our café. 
  • Ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment – Whether it’s a busy weekend morning or a special event, you can handle the rush with grace. 
  • Team player mentality – We thrive on collaboration and support each other to create an amazing experience for our guests. 
  • 21+ years of age – Required due to our future beer and wine service. 
  • Food Handler’s Certification (or willingness to obtain upon hire). 

Bonus points if you have: 

  • Experience with third-wave coffee techniques (single-origin espresso, pour-overs, etc.). 
  • Knowledge of alternative milks, specialty ingredients, or wellness-driven beverages. 
  • Prior experience in a café, bar, or hospitality setting. 

Why Join Check N’ Play? 

  • Competitive Pay – $21-$24 per hour based on experience, plus tips. 
  • A unique, vibrant work environment – Unlike traditional coffee shops, our café is an upscale, family-friendly experience that brings joy to kids and grown-ups alike. 
  • Growth opportunities – As Check N’ Play expands, so do the opportunities for leadership roles and career development. 
  • Perks & benefits – Employee discounts, team outings, and (eventually) training in craft beer and wine service. 
  • Be part of something new and exciting! – Help shape the café culture at a one-of-a-kind concept in the heart of Brea Mall. 

Ready to Join the Team? 

If you’re a coffee enthusiast who loves creating memorable experiences, we’d love to hear from you! Apply today and bring your skills to Check N’ Play, where specialty coffee meets community, creativity, and fun.
