Ground every answer in facts on this page and the original listing. We never invent Glassdoor-style reviews or salaries that are not in our data.
Be ready to describe how you handle rush periods, a wrong order, or a short-staffed shift. Expect practical questions on coffee standards, cash handling, allergen awareness, and teamwork with retail colleagues. Show you can stay customer-focused in a high-footfall MEGA environment.
Strong fit if you enjoy hands-on hospitality, flexible all-rounder duties, and a retail-attached café. Less ideal if you want a specialist barista-only or fully remote role (this job is on-site in Whanganui).
As a Café All Rounder at Mitre 10 MEGA Whanganui, expect a mix of front-of-house and back-of-house work: open/close the café, take orders, make coffee and light meals, keep counters and seating clean, restock supplies, and keep service moving for staff and DIY shoppers. Busy trade often tracks store traffic and weekend peaks; you’ll balance speed with friendly, consistent service in a retail-campus setting rather than a standalone café.
Prioritise barista basics, food-safety hygiene, till accuracy, and calm multitasking under queue pressure. No certification package is specified in the available data—confirm any site food-handler or health requirements with the employer.
No. The listing is for Mitre 10 MEGA in Whanganui (on-site café work).
Broad café duties—service, prep, cleaning, and stock—rather than a single specialised station.
