• Uphold pace, standards, and team culture in high-volume settings

What We’re Looking For

• 1+ years experience in specialty coffee (ideally in fast-paced, high-standard settings)
• Passion for learning more about our industry
• Strong communicator with a hospitality mindset
• Punctual, reliable, and takes ownership on shift
• Works clean, fast, and precisely under pressure
