Careers at R&R
Yes, we said career.
R&R's mentality is simple: we hire only professionals. People who want to grow their talent, strive to better the product, and take pride in their workplace. People who want to represent R&R in the best way possible. In short: continually striving towards perfection. If you're just looking for a place to make a paycheck, may we recommend that you keep on traveling down the road.
At the same time, we are more concerned with attitude than aptitude. We will pass up someone who thinks they're God's gift to the coffee or food world for someone who is personable. We can teach technique: we can't teach personality. We can't teach personal cleanliness, either. Keep yourself clean and well presentable (i.e. multiple piercings will get you made fun of) or you're finding a new job...
Perks are plenty here at R&R, attitude is upbeat, and fun is to be had.
Applying for a barista position? You'll start out as a cashier. Applying for a line chef position? You'll start as prep. When you move to your desired role in the R&R family is solely up to you and you alone.
