Volunteering in Analog
Join us as a volunteer barista at Cafe Analog! We invite applications at the start of each semester. Stay updated on our social media platforms and ITU’s information screens for more details.
About the crew
We are a diverse team of ~80 students and staff from various backgrounds, nationalities, and ages. All of us are dedicated to making Cafe Analog the cosiest spot at ITU, and most of us joined Analog without any prior barista knowledge.
Volunteer Expectations
Volunteers at minimum take one weekly shift of ~2 hours, and all volunteers have to undergo barista and kitchen training.
For the ambitious, roles like shift planning, inventory management, event organisation, and financial oversight are also available (see below "Analog crews").
We use Basecamp for communication and expect active participation from all members.
Benefits of Volunteering
As a volunteer, you'll interact with diverse ITU members both in your shift as well as in internal events.
Furthermore, volunteers enjoy free black coffee/tea + heavily discounted fancy drinks (any espresso-based coffee, chai, cocoa, and matcha) at all times. During your shift, any drink is free!
Finally, you’ll have access to the café during vacations and exam periods, one of the cosiest places to study.

Analog crews
Analog has a series of crews consisting of baristas doing a little bit ekstra for the cafe in various areas.
Visuals
Handles most graphics in Analog to ensure a cohesive look and feel. This includes posters, guides, merchandise and the occasional other fun and creative projects.
Social (events)
Event organisers. Organises events for baristas, but also for all Analog visitors. The crew also collaborates with other student organisations to host joint events at the cafe.
Interior
Makes sure Analog is pretty! Plays around with the layout and decor of the cafe to make a cozy and inviting environment for ITU students and staff.
Storage
Ensures we have coffee and milk in Analog! They are our direct contact to suppliers to make sure we are stocked and ready with everything needed to make delicious drinks.
Finance
Make sure we have money in our accounts! In collaboration with the treasurer from the board (who is elected at the general assembly), they manage budgets and approves payments.
Quality Assurance
Ensures the coffee tastes good! Collaborates with the storage and kitchen crews to ensure high quality products and preparation techniques.
Kitchen
Day-to-day leadership. Handles crisis calls when things are not working in the cafe, training the new volunteers, and making sure documentation and cleaning is up to date for the food administration. The kitchen crew collaborates with the QA crew in regards to the machinery and possible changes in the kitchen and equipment.
Analog IO
IO is the development team in Analog, responsible for the creation and maintenance of the Analog App ↗. This is the only crew that can take in members outside of Analog—but it is encouraged to be part of Analog as well, as it gives you more authority in internal decision-making.
