Barista

Hello Darling\Flora is a flourishing cafe and culinary production team based in Denver, specializing in crafting exceptional coffee and culinary products with a focus on quality, community, and consistency. With multiple locations across the city, Hello Darling\Flora has established itself as a beloved destination for coffee aficionados and food enthusiasts who appreciate well-made, thoughtfully prepared items in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The company prides itself on fostering a close-knit, collaborative work culture where each team member's contribution is valued and encouraged. Employment at Hello Darling\Flora is currently offered on a part-time basis at the West Highlands location, with competitive compensation reflecting the skill and commitment required.

The role offered is a part-time Barista and Prep Cook position, requiring versatility and dedication as it entails responsibilities across both roles. As a Barista, you will be the face of the cafe experience, serving guests with expertly crafted espresso drinks, cappuccinos, teas, and specialty beverages. Key skills include proficiency in dialing espresso shots to achieve ideal extraction, milk texturing to create velvety microfoam, and artistic latte art presentation. The role demands attention to detail, a positive and engaging personality, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment without compromising service quality. You will be responsible not only for beverage preparation but also for creating a welcoming, friendly environment that encourages repeat visits.

As a Prep Cook, your duties shift toward production and logistics, focusing on the preparation of syrups, beverage infusions, and small food items, ensuring consistency and quality across all four Hello Darling\Flora locations. This role requires organizational skills, cleanliness, and efficient operation within a limited workspace. The Prep Cook must also manage the distribution of products using their own vehicle to transport items between production space and locations around Denver. This dual role suits candidates who have at least two years of barista experience and one year of professional kitchen experience, with food safety certifications to back their knowledge. The position offers a unique opportunity to grow and develop skills in both front-of-house hospitality and back-of-house food preparation within an experience-focused cafe environment.
