Meet your author:
Hi! I'm Caitlin and I've been supported by Moorview Care for 2 years. I work at the Coliseum Café in Whitby. I really enjoy it and I can't wait to tell you all about it!
A little while ago, one of our Team Leaders said there was an opportunity to work at the Coliseum Café and asked if I’d be interested.
I was really interested because I had volunteered at the Coliseum before and I really enjoyed it. I missed it when it closed so of course I was so happy it had opened again! When I heard about the opportunity to work there, I arranged to go down and talk to them all about it.
When I went to see them, I had prepared a list of questions I’d thought of that I wanted to ask - some of these included:
Would lunch be provided or would I have to bring my own food?
Would I have to wear a hair net?
Where are the fire points?
All these questions were so I knew what to expect from the job. We got on great and I started the next week!
When I arrive, I check in with staff, get changed into my t-shirt and put my pinny on. (The picture on the right is me in my work t-shirt!)
Some other things I do whilst I’m there:
Clear any washing up that has built up
Prepare the cutlery and napkins
Set tables for lunch
Welcome customers
Serve teas and coffees
Take food to the tables
Chat to customers
Once customers have left, I clear and wipe tables. At 2.30pm, I help to tidy up everything else up, empty the dishwasher and put any pots away
I enjoy working at the café because the customers are lovely and friendly. The staff are too and we have a great laugh - I get on so well with everyone. Also, the food is great! The other week I tried their chicken and vegetable soup and it was beautiful.
