Hey, I am opening a cafe soon and need to find some kids to work it. When I say kids, I mean teens/adults, but since they're younger than an old fart like me, they're considered kids. Hell, most of you are probably kids... :)

Since it's in a Chinese plaza, I think some Chinese language skills would be required.

Where should I advertise peeps? Where do all the cool kids hang to chat? I will start stalking those forums, lol.

Location of the cafe is in Markham (Hwy 7 and Woodbine)...

:P Lotta CBCs hanging out on this forum... You could post up at Universities and Colleges? Failing that, RFD usually has a teenaged to uni-student aged crowd begging for jobs too.

My gf lives near there - TM3 discount? :D

1. what type of cafe, what will you be serving? bubble tea? food and drink?
2. I think if you post a sign up outside of the store (before opening) lots of ppl will walk by and see and call. Your best and easiest way to get applicants is to just put up signs in and around the plaza's in that area? I'm sure there are bulletin boards in some plazas in the hallways and or stuff like that

3. make sure you have 'criteria' when choosing your employees

asian kids tend to work hard, but like every "kid" in this generation they tend to be lazy and more concerned with socializing than actually providing good customer service

lastly do not choose girls that you find attractive and or would like to get in the sack with...... ABSOLUTE NONO! hahaha

good luck hunting
let us know what the shop is and we'll visit

BBT FTW!

Great suggestion re: the sign.

I'm married, so I'm off the market. But I think I'll have to hire the pretty girls to get you horny guys into the cafe LOL.

can i help you hire??
it's better for YOUR image if i hire for you
then when they actually come into work they won't blame YOU for only hiring attractive young ladies.

how about i balance it out
i hire 1 smokin fob and 1 uhhhh sub par fob for ya......
that way it keeps the patrons in suspense

each time they show up they'll be like " i hope i get the hot girl"!!!

in the interview process bring a camera... and take a picture
if the girl puts up a peace sign when smiling and tilts her head sideways... and somehow still looks hot while doing it you know you got a winner

Seriously, if you know someone gents, let me know.

And seriously, I need more females to balance this guy/girl thing out. Can't have all guys working...

awesome.. bring on the TM3 coupons!! let us know where it is in the first post so that we can have a meet there..

usually I see females working the floor and males making the drinks..

make sure the waitstaff (or hot girls) are nice/pleasant to the customers and remember to check up on the customers.. I hate it when the waitstaff deliver your drinks and food and never come back to see if everything is OK or if you need anything..

If you suggest your new cafe's location as a TM3 meet/meat spot, you'll have no concern for new business...

As for hawt Asian chicks...just hire non-Chinese girls and you'll get tons of Chinese guys there...in fact...hire a few blondes... ;)

But no, seriously, campus recruiting ads are cheap, if not free, and usually pretty effective.

WUD, what's up buddy?

When I need to hire staff I actually use the job bank Canada website. It's free for employers to register and use and so far I've had pretty good success. PM me if you want more specific info.
