We are looking for an energetic, reliable, and hospitality-focused Coffee Cart Barista to operate and maintain a workplace coffee cart experience for our client.

This position is different from a traditional café Barista role. In addition to preparing high-quality espresso and coffee beverages, the Coffee Cart Barista is responsible for the daily setup, operation, replenishment, cleaning, and breakdown of a self-contained coffee cart.

Because the coffee cart is not directly connected to a permanent water source, this role requires additional hands-on responsibilities, including filling, transporting, and replacing water containers used to operate the cart throughout service.

  • Monitor inventory throughout the shift and replenish products as needed.
  • Maintain an organized backstock area and communicate inventory needs before products run out.
  • Complete closing procedures and properly secure and organize the cart at the end of service.
  • Keeping the cart's water supply and wastewater areas clean and sanitary.
  • Clean and sanitize the espresso machine, steam wands, grinders, pitchers, tools, counters, sinks, and service areas.
  • Wash and organize dishes and reusable equipment throughout the shift.
  • Remove trash, recycling, coffee grounds, and other waste as needed.
  • Receive and organize coffee, milk, supplies, and other deliveries when required.
  • Rotate products using FIFO (First In, First Out) procedures.
  • Check expiration dates and product quality.
  • Report low inventory, damaged equipment, maintenance concerns, or product issues to management promptly.

Requirements

  • Hospitality, Customer Service, & Barista Experience
  • Ability to arrive on-time at our client's office each day
  • Standing and walking for extended periods.
  • Frequently bending, reaching, twisting, and moving around the coffee cart.
  • Moving and replenishing water containers throughout the shift.
  • Transporting product and supplies between storage areas and the coffee cart.
  • Performing repetitive tasks associated with beverage preparation, cleaning, stocking, and cart maintenance.
  • Reasonable accommodations will be considered in accordance with applicable law.
