Barista Shift Leader

Barista - Bel Air Social

Location: Central West End, St. Louis, MO Job Type: Full-time / Part-time

Are you a coffee enthusiast who loves the energy of a vibrant social hub? Bel Air Social is looking for skilled and charismatic Baristas to join our tight-knit crew in the heart of the Central West End.

We aren’t your average coffee shop. We are a destination for "social wellness"—a space that transitions from morning espresso rituals to high-energy community events. We are looking for people who see coffee as a craft and hospitality as an art form.

Why You’ll Love It Here

• The Culture: We believe in working hard, supporting our teammates like family, and creating a professional yet vibrant environment.
• The Environment: You’ll be working in one of the most beautiful spaces in the CWE, featuring a sun-drenched outdoor patio and a sleek, modern interior.
• The Community: From our "Fit Fun Club" yoga sessions to neighborhood social hours, you’ll be at the center of the local scene.
• Empowerment: We believe in "unreasonable hospitality." We empower our team to make things right for guests and look for opportunities to surprise and delight them every day.

Who You Are

• The Craftsperson: You have experience with specialty coffee, espresso machines, and latte art. You take pride in every cup you pour.
• The Ambassador: You are the face of our morning and afternoon "frequency." You’re the best advertisement for our shared space, and you’re excited to talk to guests about our menu and upcoming events.
• The Team Player: We have a great core group of workers, and we’re looking for someone who values a collaborative, ego-free workplace.
• The Professional: You’re reliable, punctual, and maintain a clean, organized station even when the morning rush is in full swing.

Responsibilities

• Prepare and serve high-quality espresso drinks, teas, and specialty beverages.
• Engage with guests to provide personalized recommendations and world-class service.
• Act as a brand advocate by mentioning upcoming events and social activations to guests.
• Maintain the aesthetic and cleanliness of the bar and guest areas (including hourly restroom checks).
• Work collaboratively with the rest of the crew to ensure a seamless experience for every guest.

The Perks

• A supportive, tight-knit work family.
• A casual and comfortable uniform (solid black shirt and clean jeans).
• The opportunity to grow within an expanding, high-end hospitality group.

Ready to join the crew? If you have a passion for coffee and the soul for "unreasonable hospitality," we want to meet you. Apply today with your resume and tell us why you’d be a great fit for the Bel Air Social family!
