Michael and Jeniphur Pasquarello opened Cafe Lift Philly 20 years ago in the Callowhill neighborhood. In 2022, a second location in downtown Haddonfield opened. Crowds of ravenous brunch fans warmly welcomed us, and Cafe Lift Haddonfield was an instant hit. Open 8am - 3pm daily (yes we are closed evenings), Cafe Lift is dedicated to delivering high quality, creative, and locally-sourced food and beverages. Warm, friendly, and genuine service is also a top priority.
We are looking for a highly motivated, experienced, and hard-working General Manager to join our team. To be successful in this role, the General Manager will lead by example and be an active presence on our dining room floor. While things such as scheduling, payroll, and other administrative tasks are important, nothing supersedes being an active member of the team during service. Excellent guest interaction skills are a must, as is the ability to coach and mentor the FOH. Ideally the General Manager will be strong ambassador for the Cafe Lift brand and foster relationships with our neighbors in Haddonfield.
