• Follow all food safety, sanitation, and health guidelines throughout each shift.
• Restock supplies, monitor inventory, and communicate needs to shift leaders.
• Support teammates during rushes and contribute to a smooth, coordinated flow of service.

• A customer-first mindset and strong interpersonal skills.
• Ability to stand for extended periods, move quickly, and lift supplies as needed.
• Comfort with repetitive tasks, multitasking, and working in a fast-paced setting.
• Reliability, punctuality, and a team-oriented approach.
• Prior customer service, food service, or barista experience is a plus, though a willingness to learn matters most.

Why You'll Love It

This is a role for people who enjoy making someone's day better one drink at a time. You will learn beverage craft, sharpen your service skills, and be part of a supportive crew that works shoulder to shoulder through every rush.
