BARISTA SHIFT LEAD

Hiring 6 shift leads- full time and part time positions

 The Opportunity

We’re looking for experienced baristas who enjoy leading by example and helping a team deliver great service. Our Shift Leads are hands-on leaders: they run the shift, coach fellow baristas, and step in wherever they’re needed. From welcoming guests to washing dishes during a rush, they set the tone with kindness, consistency, initiative, and a strong work ethic.


What You’ll Do

  • Lead daily shifts, assign baristas to workstations, and adjust coverage as service demands change.
  • Work alongside the team during peak hours, preparing drinks, supporting guest service, and moving between stations to keep service flowing.
  • Oversee opening and closing procedures, including readiness, checklists, and store security protocols.
  • Make sure sidework, cleaning, restocking, and organization are completed thoroughly and on time.
  • Coach and train new baristas; reinforce recipes, drink quality, service standards, and consistent procedures.
  • Maintain proper stock of all barista related products, including paper goods, syrups, making house-made syrups, ensuring low-stock items are ordered properly.
  • Communicate shift updates, staffing concerns, guest issues, and operational needs promptly to management.


What We’re Looking For

Previous barista experience is required; prior shift lead or supervisory experience is preferred.

Demonstrated leadership ability, sound judgment, and confidence giving clear, respectful direction.

A friendly, guest-focused attitude, dependability, punctuality, and a strong personal work ethic.

Ability to stay calm under pressure, work efficiently, accept feedback, and willingly help with any task.

Shift Leads must be able to open and/or close the store, including early opening shifts beginning at 5:00 a.m. Schedules and shift lengths vary based on business needs and may include weekdays and weekends. Availability for both opening and closing responsibilities is important. Openers arrive at 5:00 a.m. and closers may work as late as 10 p.m. 


Shift Leads are required to be available for two of the three shifts. 

  • Open (beginning at 5 a.m., working 4-8 hour shifts)
  • Mid shifts (hours range from 6 a.m.-10 a.m. start time, 4-8 hour shifts)
