Scarlet Park is a creative soul. She enjoys working with her hands, from crocheting to arranging flowers, as well as cooking and baking. Born in South Korea, she later studied hospitality management in Sidney, where she met her Swedish husband-to-be. Later they moved to London to work within the luxury hospitality sector. During her maternity leave, they decided to move to Stockholm. The working hours in the restaurant industry are not an ideal combination with small children, so when it was time for Scarlet to return to work, she applied for the role as café manager at ARKET.

“The best thing about working here is my team. We have a very good vibe and in busy moments we run like clockwork, which makes work go smoothly, even during rush hour.”

In addition to staff responsibility, Scarlet says that she also enjoys the planning, prepping and scheduling tasks that come with the job. Starting early, she and the team prepare sandwiches, pastries and coffee, making sure breakfast is ready when the café opens. During the morning hours, grocery deliveries arrive, and the lunch prepping begins.

At lunch hour, it’s ‘all hands on deck’, followed by an afternoon of guests on coffee breaks. When things start to slow down, Scarlet makes time to do various administrative tasks, from checking stock and ordering supplies, to managing staff recruitment.  

 

“Cafés generally attract younger people. It causes a natural turnover; the staff go on to pursue studies or other things. To me, it is rewarding to work with young people, pushing and supporting them, and seeing them evolve. I am so proud of all of them!”
