About the Role
Cup of Joe Cafes is looking for a friendly, guest-focused Barista to join our team at our Starbucks licensed store on the Baptist Hospital Campus in Pensacola, FL. This is one of the area's busiest healthcare campuses - a high-volume location serving nurses, doctors, and families who depend on us every day.. If you love connecting with people, thrive in a fast-moving environment, and take pride in crafting an exceptional Starbucks experience on every order, we want to hear from you.
What You'll Do
- Craft Starbucks beverages and food items to recipe and brand standard on every order, every time
- Deliver a warm, welcoming experience that makes guests feel genuinely taken care of
- Keep your station clean, stocked, and ready to handle the rush
- Follow all food safety and handling procedures
- Support your shift lead and teammates - step in where needed, no questions asked
- Show up consistently and be a reliable, positive presence on the team
- Help train and welcome new team members as you grow in your role
- Stay curious about the menu, the craft, and the brand - the more you know, the better every interaction gets

- You're comfortable following Starbucks appearance standards (solid black top, black or khaki bottoms, slip-resistant shoes, apron provided) - full dress code shared at interview
