Job description

WHY WORK AT JOE & THE JUICE

JOE & THE JUICE is a people‑centric food and beverage company built around culture, not just juice, sandwiches, coffee, and much more. When joining us, you step into a high‑energy community where the music is loud, the bar is your stage, and your personality matters as much as your skills.

• Positive Attitude
• Inclusion
• Social Ties
• Growth

We believe in four simple virtues that shape everything we do. For us, this means that when you choose a cup‑half‑full mindset, welcome people from every background, build real friendships across the bar by creating great guest experiences, and use every shift as a chance to learn something new, you become more than just a Juicer; like us, you continue to search and find purpose and meaning in what you do.

From your first day, you’ll be part of an international network of Juicers who support each other, celebrate wins together, and push each other to grow. You will learn by doing, move through our Moneyball career path, our internal system that tracks your performance and fast‑tracks you toward promotion, and be part of a company where most leaders have earned their stripes behind the bar (fun fact: over 75% of our employees started as Juicers!).

If you love fast‑paced service, music, people, and the idea of turning a job into a lifestyle, JOE can become a place to build skills, friendships, and a career that can take you across cities, countries, and roles.
