Do you want to be an “Intelli?” We do business differently to forge new paths in specialty coffee. We are pioneers in the direct trade model for buying coffee and creating coffee partnerships all over the world. We’re passionate about coffee, and that means we pay a bit more for coffee in order to buy direct and create long-term, collaborative relationships with our producers that grow exceptional coffee.

The starting wage for a Barista in Watertown is $17.71/hr. There is an extensive training program and a new hire generally should become full-bar capable within 90 days. After certification, the pay rate improves to $18.63/hr. The position is eligible for tips. These average $5.00 -7.00/hr.
