Barista - Highland Park
About The Position
Our Coffeehouse Team is the front line of customer service and fulfillment in our retail locations. In this role, you will serve up drinks and experiences that brighten people’s day. You will brew delicious coffee (roasted by us, here in LA County!), you’ll serve our customers tasty drinks and food, bus tables, run food, and wash dishes. The duties are diverse, but the job boils down to being engaging, knowledgeable, and kind. Performing excellent service in our coffeehouses feels like hosting a great dinner party. It’s hard work, but it’s fulfilling. And if that sounds like fun to you, you’ll probably like working here. We think that we are pretty good at teaching the technical skills it takes to be a great barista, so no prior experience in the field is necessary. What is necessary is genuine excitement for what we do, a willingness to learn, and a desire to take care of your fellow humans. We pool tips and add them to your paycheck. Adjusted hourly rate with tips included is about $24/hour and often more. You can expect a baseline of $7 per hour in tips. We also offer a full complement of company sponsored health/vision/dental benefits for full-time employees.
