WE ARE HIRING :D
So.. here’s more info ———>
Full Time Barista
For this position we need someone able to work 35-40 hours a week.
If you’re great with people, have a lot of energy and genuinely enjoy service, this can be a really fun job with a high skill ceiling and opportunity for growth long term.
Because this is a small shop and we make a lot of things in house, it requires you to pay attention, learn quickly, and put in the effort to succeed. Experience in a kitchen or volume cafe is seriously appreciated, because being organized and intuiting workflow is a super important skill.
OK! LET’S TALK CULTURE
We’re looking for people who enjoy customer service wholeheartedly.
We mainly serve neighborhoods that are within walking distance. You will be making real connections with real people, you will see those people every day, they will see through you if you’re being insincere. If you don’t really enjoy talking to people, if that’s not you, this might not be for you. If talking to others gives you energy and you could do it forever, our community is awesome and you’ll have a lot of fun guaranteed.
We’re also looking for people who love the technical stuff.
We’re looking for people who want to develop a skill, that are driven to do so and will put in the effort to learn. To taste everything and ask questions. Coffee can be a deep and interesting craft. We have the tools/people on bar for someone to become a really excellent barista that can take those skills anywhere, and enough new coffee coming through for you to learn a lot about coffee and develop your palate. We can train you on the fundamentals and immerse you in the culture, but it’s up to you to want to improve. If you love learning, there’s a lot to love.
We’re looking for people who love food!
Just like we buy coffee as a seasonal crop, we buy a lot of new local produce every month. So part of our job is tasting it, forecasting it, then thinking about what to do with it before we can sell it to others. A lot of really great stuff comes through so it’s one of the best parts of the job if you love to eat.
We’re also looking for humble people with emotional maturity.
Doing specialty coffee in our little corner of JAX, we want to Improve every day and blow minds. With that, you may hear “this is the best coffee I’ve ever had”, or “the gas station down the street has coffee for $2, why don’t you?” You’re going to need to navigate these conversations without trashing other people or cafes, without getting a big head or getting upset. Just keep a cool head, keep killing it in your own lane, have fun and have confidence!
We’re looking for people who love to create!
prior to “authentic florida sunshine” our internal motto was “give people energy” and a big part of that was giving our staff creative projects and engaging ways to stay busy. So maybe that’s cutting up paper chains and friendship bracelets, or maybe it’s holding a pie bake off, but mainly it’s doodling on cups and creating playlists or weird drinks. If you like being creative then you’ll have a lot of fun!
Lastly we’re looking for people who take responsibility.
Also called integrity, this is owning your workflow, owning your wins and your losses. That’s doing all the dishes, prepping all the chia pudding, and letting the next person know if you didn’t have time or made a mistake. Be open to advice on how to improve, and open to giving advice back on how we can improve. We do individual and group meetings regularly. It’s how we grow as a team, and you as the next chain link are just as crucial in that strength.
LETS TALK TIME & MONEY
This hire will be trained on everything, and that means some after hours time to get started. Two to three times after 3pm to get started going over the manual and the space. Then shadowing in the morning to try and apply some of that knowledge practically.
During training you’ll be paid $14/hr to talk over guides and shadow behind the bar. After training you’ll be paid $13/hr + tips. Currently employees make about $19-20/hr with tips. After you’ve been here for 6 months we start paid time off and increase the base pay at one year.
I think that’s it : ) Please fill out the form below if you’re interested.
