Cafe offering $92,000 to pour coffees

A cafe is offering baristas an impressive $92,000 salary to pour coffee.

The Good Cartel in the Kimberley region of Western Australia is offering higher than industry rates for six positions at their cafe.

The barista package offers a $92,030 salary and superannuation where the successful applicant must work 47 hours over five days, including the weekend.

Those looking to keep their weekends free can apply for the barista position offering a $83,000 salary.

Kitchen staff are offered almost $20,000 more at $112,464 annually to work 55 hours over the week, including weekends.

For $102,000 kitchen staff can work and keep their weekends free, while drive-thru attendants are being offered $80,000 a year.

Jack Kain, the owner of Good Cartel, said he was already paying higher industry rates but said it had become necessary in recent times to work with the rising cost of living.

“It’s a better than usual strategy now with the labour shortage, which has now fallen well and truly off the cliff,” he told Perth Now.

“When you combine this with the rental shortage and all of the various COVID restrictions incoming it’s going to be challenging.”
