Descrizione del lavoro

Our baristas do much more than make drinks. They create the experience people associate with Paper Plane.

You’ll prepare thoughtfully crafted coffee and specialty drinks, welcome guests, keep the café moving during busy service, and help maintain a clean, organized, and inviting space. Some shifts are fast-paced and high-volume, so we’re looking for people who can move with purpose while still making customers feel seen and cared for.

Coffee experience is helpful, but it isn’t everything. We’re equally interested in people who are eager to learn, take feedback well, and genuinely enjoy working with others.
