Job Description

Sodexo is a global leader in food services and facilities management, delivering integrated solutions that improve the quality of life for millions of people every day. At the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Sodexo operates food service facilities that prioritize not only quality and efficiency but also personalized customer experiences. Sodexo values each employee and fosters a supportive, inclusive work environment where individuals can thrive while contributing to a larger purpose. This part-time position as a Barista offers an hourly wage ranging from $12 to $15, making it an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking flexible work schedules, including students and those looking to gain professional experience in the service industry.

As a Barista with Sodexo at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, you will have the opportunity to engage with customers and provide exemplary service by crafting quality, hand-made beverages and maintaining inviting and efficient service areas.

The position requires a responsible individual who can handle multiple tasks including maintaining cleanliness, inventory, and cash-handling procedures. This is a dynamic role that involves physical activity such as standing and walking for extended periods, lifting supplies, and ensuring smooth daily operations in a fast-paced environment.

Working as a Barista for Sodexo means more than performing typical food service duties; it means being part of an organization committed to growth, training, and advancement. Sodexo’s values include respect, culture, and belonging, which translate into a workplace where employees are valued and motivated. Benefits include a supportive atmosphere, access to ongoing development, and a comprehensive benefits package that can include paid time off, medical and dental insurance, tuition reimbursement, and more.
