Kaffeine Legend - Rory (A Baker, a Builder, a Dancer, a Sandwich Maker)
Rory left us this week. Most people would not know Rory, as he starts at 6:15 am each morning, leaves about 3 pm and worked nearly every weekend over the past 18 months and we kept him downstairs most of the time. This was of course because he worked in the kitchen. It is always hugely comforting to a) find someone to work in the kitchen b) that they are competent and skilled c) that they get up very early every day and d) that they are a really nice person too.
Rory was another one of those. We are very lucky that we have had and still have a team of chefs who all have the same qualities. Very lucky indeed.

Rory was also very good at building. He started collecting the wooden pallets that deliveries get made on and are left on the street. He took them home and made furniture for his house. He was then commissioned to build the new crates we have outside the shop. They look very good indeed. We call them ‘The Rories’ and we hope they last a very long time.
He would help with general maintenance work around the shop, unblocking drains or putting things back together if required and he was a very good delivery person for all our catering orders. The banter in the kitchen, the self made videos of him making thousands of banana breads, ANZACS, portuguese tarts, brownies and blondies. A true Kaffeine legend.
We will all miss Rorza very much and we wish both him and Jess all the very best for the future back in Australia.
Well done fella….
