Autonomy And Responsibility In The Workplace

One of our secret weapons at Cat & Cloud is tapping into the creativity and inspiration of our team members. From seasonal beverages and new menu items to green coffee buying decisions, some of our most popular creations have come from the minds of our team. 

But just an idea isn't enough. Ideas are easy. Bringing them to life is the hard part. Have an idea for a new menu item? Sweet. You’re on the hook for finding vendors, costing out ingredients, and making sure they fit within our margin and pricing structure. You take the lead on dialing in the workflow—how does this integrate into an already humming kitchen? Everything has to make sense both culturally and monetarily. 

We've set this standard and people repeatedly rise to the occasion. When you pave the way with your mission and values and pair the right level of autonomy with the right level of responsibility, you’ll be amazed at what your team is capable of.
