Part-time Tea House Assistant

We're looking for a part-time Tea House Assistant. You'll be working directly with the owner in a small independent tea house. This is a hands-on role where you'll be involved in every part of the daily operation. There isn't a separate person for each task, so everyone helps wherever needed. Your responsibilities Your responsibilities may include: - Preparing and serving tea using Gongfu brewing methods - Introducing our teas and sharing basic tea knowledge with customers - Helping customers choose teas and tea products - Preparing tea drinks and desserts - Operating the cashier and processing payments - Handling takeaway and delivery orders independently - Packing loose-leaf tea for retail sales - Restocking products and organising inventory - Washing dishes and maintaining a clean workspace - Cleaning the shop - Supporting other day-to-day operational tasks as needed During busy periods, you'll often be serving customers, preparing drinks, handling takeaway and delivery orders, and managing multiple tasks at the same time. During quieter periods, you'll help with packing tea, restocking, cleaning, organising, and preparing the shop for the next rush. What we're looking for We're looking for someone who is: - Friendly, reliable, and responsible - Comfortable talking with customers - Able to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment - Comfortable multitasking and adapting to different responsibilities - Proactive and able to work independently - Interested in learning about tea and providing excellent customer service Language requirements - Fluent Finnish - Good English - Basic Chinese listening skills are a plus, but not required Position - Part-time - Weekend and evening availability is preferred - Full training will be provided Before you apply This is an independent tea house, not a large chain with separate roles for each employee. You'll be working directly with the owner, and the role requires flexibility, efficiency, and the ability to manage different responsibilities throughout the day. If you're looking for a position with only one fixed responsibility or prefer a slower-paced working environment, this role is unlikely to be the right fit. If this sounds like the kind of work you enjoy, we'd love to hear from you. Please send your CV and a short introduction to [info@teetao.fi]. As we're a small independent business, we're unfortunately unable to reply to every application individually. If your experience matches what we're looking for, we'll contact you within two business days to arrange the next step. If you don't hear from us within two business days, it means we've decided to move forward with other applicants. We sincerely appreciate your interest and thank you for taking the time to apply.
