• Train and coach new team members on drink prep and customer service standards
• Handle customer questions and feedback with a warm, positive attitude
• Keep the shop clean, stocked, and running like clockwork
• Communicate inventory needs and any issues to management

What We're Looking For

• 1+ year of boba, bubble tea, or café experience required; shift lead or supervisory experience is a plus
• Outgoing, fun personality with a team-first mindset
• Able to handle the rush without losing your cool
• Reliable and punctual — your team counts on you
• Strong communication skills
• Food handler certification (or willingness to obtain)

Schedule Requirements

• Competitive pay + tips — your great service pays off!
• Opportunities to grow within the company
• Employee discounts on all your favorite drinks
• Flexible scheduling around your afternoon/evening availability
