About William White Emporium
The William White Emporium is not your average store or café—it’s a cultural hub, a neighborhood salon, and a retail destination all in one. Part concept shop, part café, and part design showroom, the Emporium brings together fashion, home, food, and storytelling under one roof.
Role Overview
We’re looking for charismatic, high-energy Front of House team members and Baristas to be the welcoming face of the Emporium. This is a hospitality-first role for someone who gets joy from connecting with others, knows how to read a room, and can keep pace in a dynamic, beautifully curated space.
You’ll be serving exceptional coffee—but more importantly, you’ll be setting the tone, sparking conversations, and making the space feel like a second home for our guests.

Barista & Café Operations

•\tEngage with guests about upcoming events, new arrivals, and brand moments

Qualifications

•\tWarm, outgoing personality with a genuine love of people
•\tStrong communication and multitasking skills
