Job description

Description

French Truck Coffee is a family-owned specialty coffee company based in New Orleans, built on a simple idea: great coffee, great food, and great hospitality. What started with roasting coffee in a laundry room and delivering beans in a little yellow truck has grown into cafés and roasteries across the South—and our focus has remained the same: quality, freshness, and caring for people. At French Truck, being a Barista is not just a coffee job—it’s a fast-paced hospitality role where consistency, urgency, attention to detail, and genuine care for guests matter every day. We are looking for people who want to be part of a team that takes pride in craftsmanship, hospitality, and creating an experience guests remember.
