Barista Full-time

The Plaza Group is one of Ireland’s leading independent motorway and primary route services groups.

The Plaza Group was formed by the managing directors of Supermac’s, Pat and Úna McDonagh, who have over 40 years of experience in the sector, offering world-class food and retail services. We are delighted to announce that we are opening a new Service Station at Ennis (M18), Co. Clare, later this autumn.

As usual, our core brands include the iconic Supermac’s, Papa John’s Pizza, and the delicious SuperSubs outlets, as well as Mac’s Diner Deli and our Barista.
The Plaza Group is committed to maintaining the traditional values that the Supermac’s name has become synonymous with. The company’s success is built on a unique menu, ideally suited to local tastes, using food and ingredients sourced locally wherever possible and enhanced by quality in every aspect of the preparation. We are the only quick-service restaurant to use fresh, never frozen 100% Irish beef and chicken.
