As a Barista at Blue Collar Coffee Company, you will hold a crucial role in ensuring that every guest leaves with a positive, lasting impression. Your role goes beyond serving coffee; you will be the face of the establishment, tasked with educating customers about the various options available and providing personalized service to help guests select the perfect beverage or food item. Maintaining a warm, friendly, and clean environment is key to the guest experience, as is your dedication to mastering the coffee menu and preparation techniques.

Daily responsibilities include learning the full menu, educating customers, maintaining cleanliness of the workspace and customer areas, preparing drinks using prescribed recipes, managing inventory, keeping equipment in excellent working order, and continually updating your coffee knowledge through education and industry interaction. Punctuality and professionalism are critical, as is the ability to leave a positive impression that encourages repeat visits and word-of-mouth promotion.

This position requires open availability and a competitive spirit, as it is a fast-paced and demanding environment where teamwork and customer focus come first. Experience as a barista is preferred but not mandatory, and strong customer service and communication skills are essential. Geronimo Hospitality Group values individuals who are proactive, enthusiastic, and ready to contribute to a team that doesn’t just meet expectations but sets the bar high.
