A long-established café in Kenya is looking to strengthen its team with new hires. Roses Café (also appearing as Rose Cafe or similar variations in signage), a spot that has been serving customers since 1992, has posted a fresh recruitment notice seeking experienced professionals for key front-of-house and kitchen roles.
The café is actively hiring for the following positions:
- Experienced Cook
- Barista
- Cashier
About Roses Café
Judging from the signage and overall presentation, Roses Café appears to be a well-established casual dining and coffee spot that has been operating for over three decades. The “Since 1992” detail suggests it is one of the longer-running independent cafés in its area, likely appealing to both regular locals and passers-by who value consistency and familiarity.
The recruitment photo shows an inviting outdoor/indoor seating area with customers already enjoying the space — a good sign that the business maintains steady foot traffic.
