Cafe Team Member

Root Whole BodyPortland, OR
$16 - $22Onsite

About The Position

Blossoming Lotus Café & Juice Bar is a small, yet mighty café rooted in plant-based, “Food as Medicine” principles. Our space is dynamic, team-driven, and focused on delivering nourishing food quickly and consistently. We’re looking for a reliable, upbeat team member that would thrive in a busy environment, enjoy staying active, and take pride in both quality and speed. You’ll move between front-of-house and back-of-house responsibilities—taking orders, preparing food and beverages, and keeping the space clean, organized, and welcoming. This role is perfect for someone who brings positive energy to every shift, works well under pressure and stays organized when it’s busy, genuinely cares about plant-based food and wellness, and enjoys being part of a tight-knit, hardworking team. Please do not apply if you’re looking for a slow-paced or purely customer service role - this position requires hustle, focus, and teamwork. When we’re not busy, there’s always things to do!
