On-Call Barista

This is a unique position for someone who doesn’t want a full-time position and wants the freedom to do other things rather than have a set schedule.

We’re looking for someone to be a filler for when a barista or bar-back goes on vacation or calls out. As you can imagine, vacations are forseeable and can be planned in advance, but call-outs due to illness or life crisis happens on the fly. We’d like this person to have a fairly flexible schedule to accommodate last-minute opportunities.

Pay: $17/hour + shared tips

Expectations:

• Must have a high school diploma or equivalent.
• Have at least 2 years of barista experience at a coffee shop.
• Have knowledge of making popular drinks (espresso, pour-over, French press, Chemex)
• Candidate will have an outgoing personality and have the skills necessary to develop themed drinks. We expect to change out certain drinks throughout the year or for specific holidays or movie releases.
• Must have experience calibrating espresso grinders.
• Create hot, iced, and blended beverages.
• Must be able to take, and pass, the Safe Food Handlers class.
• Have the ability to take, and pass, the ABC Responsible Beverage Service class to serve beer, wine, and cider
• Follow all state, local, and private company protocols regarding food safety and general health for the safety of everyone.
