We're not just the pioneers of the nutritional smoothie — we're the champions of inspiring people to live a healthy, active lifestyle. With 1,300+ stores nationwide, we blend with a purpose: hire the best people, use the best ingredients, and help every Guest Rule the Day.

Are you…

• A smoothie (and good-food) fan?
• Tired of fast-food jobs where you leave smelling like grease?
• Looking for a place that actually promotes from within?

What You'll Do

• Blend delicious, better-for-you smoothies to recipe
• Prep and serve our Power Eats food — flatbreads, chicken bites, and more from the oven
• Greet and engage every Guest to create a friendly, purpose-first experience
• Prep fruits, vegetables, frozen items, powders, and liquids
• Run the register and handle payments accurately
• Perform opening/closing and store checklist tasks
• Keep the store clean, stocked, and ready

Why you'll love working here

• Paid weekly — plus tips on every paycheck
• Real raises — performance reviews with raises up to $1/hr, as often as every 3 months
• Free uniform — provided at no cost to you
• Employee smoothie discount on your shifts
• Flexible scheduling around school, sports, and life
• We promote from within — our Team Captains and Store Managers all started as Team Members (Team Member → Team Captain → Store Manager)

What We're Looking For

• At least 16 years old with reliable transportation
• A \"Guest comes first\" attitude and the ability to connect with people
• Energetic, dependable, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment
• Experience in food service is a plus, but not required — we'll train you

Our purpose is an environment our team can brag about, built on our core values: We Are Better Together

• We Keep Evolving
• We Live Our Mission
• We Do the Right Thing
• We Focus and Finish. Smoothie King is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
