Job description

Love coffee, people, and a job where every day looks a little different? Join our Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee & Kona Ice team!

This isn’t your typical coffee shop. Our mobile coffee trucks travel throughout Central Texas serving schools, businesses, sporting events, festivals, community events, and more. You’ll make great drinks, meet lots of people, and have the opportunity to run events independently.

Our warehouse is located in West, TX, just 15 minutes north of Waco. Every shift begins and ends at our West warehouse, so you must be able to reliably report to West for each scheduled shift.

We’re hiring people who are looking for full-time hours, enjoy working hard, and have the flexibility to work an event-based schedule. Hours and schedules vary from week to week, but team members with strong availability have plenty of opportunity to work. We’re looking for applicants who want 20+ hours per week and ideally want full-time hours.

We’re looking for people who are positive, dependable, hardworking, and able to think on their feet. We’ll train you on both Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee and Kona Ice, so you’ll get plenty of variety!

What You’ll Do:

• Prepare and serve high-quality coffee and specialty drinks
• Provide fast, friendly customer service
• Drive our mobile units to events throughout Central Texas
• Set up and run events independently once trained
• Prep, stock, clean, and organize the truck
• Handle orders and payments accurately
• Solve problems and keep things moving when plans change
• Cross-train and work events with both Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee and Kona Ice

What Makes Someone Great at This Job:

You show up, work hard, have fun, and figure things out. You enjoy people, can multitask when things get busy, and don’t need someone standing over you telling you what to do next.

Our schedules vary based on events and can include early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Some days are fast-paced and busy — but that’s also what makes the job fun and keeps every shift different.

Requirements

Must be at least 18 years of age or older

Weekend availability required

Valid drivers license

Ability to lift up to 25lbs

Report to warehouse in West, TX - 15 minutes North of Waco for all shifts
