Couch of Amber

A few extra things about the role 🧡

• 18+ only, as we serve alcohol
• You’ll need to genuinely love dogs - we’re very dog-friendly, and I have three of my own 🐾
• We’d love someone who is passionate about people, enjoys chatting, and understands that making customers feel welcome is a huge part of what we do
• Friendly, reliable, hands-on and happy to learn across the whole café

We’re a tiny team, so personality and attitude matter just as much as experience. 🧡

Bye bye, August 👋🤎

What a month you’ve been!

Buddy has been very busy in his new role as Totto Banchory Drama Club 🐾, somehow I ended up in the newspaper 📰 The Press & Journal , we welcomed a lovely new member to our team, and behind the scenes there have been some VERY exciting conversations.

We had an amazing meeting with Skene Dhu⁠ Skene Dhu Whisky and I genuinely cannot wait to share what we’re planning for our upcoming whisky tastings 🥃.

We also took a little trip to Cairn o Mohr Real Fruit Wines Cairn o’Mohr⁠… and let’s just say, something rather exciting may be coming from that too. 👀🍷

But probably my favourite part of August has been the people. We’ve met so many brilliant, interesting and inspiring humans this month. Every conversation seems to spark another idea - and I want to do ALL OF THEM. 😂

There is so much I want to create, experience and share with you.

My only complaint? A day has just 24 hours.

Bring on September. 🤎✨
