Barista

Overview

We are a family‑owned coffee shop looking for a friendly, reliable Barista to join our team. Our shop has a steady flow with a few peak times, so we need someone who can work efficiently, stay productive, and take initiative even when it’s not busy. This role includes making drinks, helping with simple food items, packaging online orders, and keeping the shop stocked, clean, and running smoothly. Because many of our customers and team members speak Spanish, the ability to communicate in Spanish is required.

Schedule

• Tuesdays: 7:00 AM – 1:00 PM
• Thursdays: 7:00 AM – 1:00 PM

This is a set, part‑time schedule to start. Additional hours may become available as the shop continues to grow, and summer months typically offer more opportunities for extra shifts. This role is ideal for someone who wants consistent mornings now with the potential for expanded hours later.

Duties

• Prepare and serve coffee, teas, lemonades, horchata, and specialty drinks using our shop’s recipes
• Package DoorDash and other delivery platform orders quickly and accurately
• Operate the POS system to take orders and process payments
• Provide friendly, welcoming customer service to every guest
• Communicate clearly in both English and Spanish with customers and coworkers
• Assist with simple food prep when drink orders are slow
• Restock milks, horchata, syrups, cups, lids, and other supplies from the main fridge and storage areas
• Keep the bar area, counters, equipment, and seating areas clean and organized
• Stay productive during slower periods by completing side tasks (cleaning, organizing, restocking, prepping ingredients)
• Follow all food safety and sanitation guidelines
• Support the team with opening, closing, and daily cleaning tasks

Qualifications

• Barista or food service experience preferred, but we’re willing to train the right person
• Must be able to speak and understand Spanish
• Ability to multitask and stay productive during both busy and slow periods
• Strong customer service skills and a positive attitude
• Basic math skills for cash handling and order accuracy
• Comfortable using a POS system (training provided)
• Knowledge of food safety and proper handling is a plus
• Able to lift and restock items such as milk jugs and drink containers
• Reliable, punctual, and willing to help wherever needed
