Job description

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 music is loud, the bar is your stage, and your personality matters as much as your skills.

We believe in four simple virtues that shape everything we do;

• Inclusion
• Growth

For us, this means that when you choose a cup half-full mindset and welcome people from every background, build real friendships across the bar, 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 mind 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 a clear Moneyball career path, 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.

• Foster a positive work environment with a happy to be here attitude.
• Demonstrate dedication and a high work ethic to uphold Joe & The Juice’s standards.
• Embrace a humble and honest approach to build trust and collaboration within the team.
• Adhere to punctual attendance, dress code, and high personal hygiene standards.
• Possess knowledge of and follow all company policies and procedures.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver exceptional guest experiences with enthusiasm and attentiveness.
• Ensure product quality by following the product manual for consistency and excellence.
• Maintain hygiene standards by adhering to company cleanliness policies and guidelines.

Why Work with Us

• Great Company Culture: Be part of a team that values positive attitudes, inclusivity, and social ties. Enjoy a packed social calendar with various events that foster camaraderie and create lasting memories.
• Leadership & Educational Programs: Access continuous learning and growth opportunities through our comprehensive internal programs. Participate in workshops, training sessions, and mentorship programs designed to enhance your professional skills and leadership capabilities.
• Travel & Development Opportunities: Experience diverse cultures and locations while developing your skills and career. Take advantage of our exchange programs, international assignments, and career advancement opportunities that allow you to grow within the company and explore new horizons.

By joining Joe & The Juice, you are contributing to a healthier world, one juice at a time. We welcome individuals from all backgrounds and encourage diversity in our workplace. Together, we can create memorable guest experiences and build a vibrant, successful community.
