Barista

Overview

Sunday River is seeking Baristas for our signature coffee shops, Northern Lights and Coffee Hound. This role is a front-of-the-house, directly guest-facing, hands-on position, and will be trained, if not already experienced, to have a thorough knowledge of classic Italian espresso drinks as well as more modern hot and cold brew coffee drinks.

Similar to bartenders, a barista is highly engaging with customers, strives to remember repeat customer’s drinks, and is often rewarded with the benefit of tips (based on their interactions with customers and the quality and details of the products they serve). A successful barista is a multitasker, organized, and able to work under pressure in an often fast-paced environment. A positive attitude and great customer service, along with high self-motivation and the desire to work with people go a long way in this role.

The Barista position requires the capacity to describe all items on the outlet's drink and food menus and spend most of the workday standing while being able to push, pull, and lift up to 50 pounds. The shifts are both day and night and include weekends and holidays with extra/longer shifts needed during periods of extremely heavy business.
