About Birdie Coffee Company

Birdie Coffee Company is a locally owned specialty coffee brand focused on delivering high-quality coffee with elevated hospitality. Located in the heart of downtown Jacksonville inside the Wells Fargo Center at 1 Independent Drive, we serve professionals, residents, and visitors who expect speed, consistency, and a great experience every time they walk in.

We are building a team that takes pride in craft, efficiency, and customer connection — not just “making drinks.”

Position Overview

We are hiring a Part-Time Barista to join our Downtown Jacksonville team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced morning environment, enjoys engaging with customers, and takes coffee seriously.

This is not a passive role. Downtown service moves quickly, especially during morning rush and lunch waves. You must be able to maintain quality while handling volume.

What You’ll Do

• Prepare espresso beverages, drip coffee, cold brew, and specialty drinks with consistency and attention to detail.
• Provide efficient, friendly service during high-volume periods.
• Operate POS systems (Square or similar) accurately and confidently.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and stocked workspace at all times.
• Support opening or closing procedures depending on shift assignment.
• Uphold Birdie Coffee’s standards for quality, hospitality, and professionalism.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous barista or café experience preferred.
• Strong sense of urgency without sacrificing quality.
• Reliable, punctual, and professional.
• Comfortable working early mornings and weekday shifts (downtown traffic is strongest during business hours).
• Team-oriented mindset — no ego, no drama, just execution.

If you don’t handle pressure well or struggle with consistency during rushes, this won’t be the right fit. We’re building a strong, dependable team.

Why Work at Birdie

• Competitive hourly pay + tips.
• A structured, fast-growing local brand with opportunity for growth.
• A team that values work ethic, energy, and quality over fluff.
• Free coffee and team perks.
