What are the responsibilities and job description for the Barista position at Vibrant Coffee Roasters & Bakery?
We are looking for a Barista to prepare and serve hand-made hot & cold beverages and light fare (bagels, toasts, overnight oats).
This is EITHER a part-time OR full-time, tipped position: take-home pay is generally $20 per hour. You must be available to work Thursdays and weekends - there is some flexibility apart from that.
Barista responsibilities include explaining the menu, making recommendations to customers based on customers' preferences, up-selling special items and taking orders.
We make all our own flavor syrups in-house, and also serve a small menu of bagels and toasts, so this is not strictly a coffee job. You will be responsibility for prepping some of this food, as well as keeping the cafe clean and organized. We are a very small business so everyone is expected to work hard and pitch in with just about everything.
To be successful in this role, you should have strong customer service skills and a passion for specialty coffee. Ultimately, you’ll ensure an excellent experience for our guests.
You must be able to lift 50lbs and be comfortable using a short step-ladder.
