Job Description

Brewed - Fort Worth is a highly regarded brunch restaurant recognized as the Star Telegram's Reader's Choice for "Fort Worth's Best Brunch Spot" in 2022. Established in 2012, Brewed has built a strong reputation for its commitment to connecting and investing in the local community by fostering an atmosphere that encourages people to value, serve, and inspire one another. Unlike many brunch-focused restaurants, Brewed offers more than just a meal; it features a full craft coffee bar with an emphasis on quality and craftsmanship. The coffee beans used in their beverages are roasted in-house, reflecting their dedication to providing an exceptional coffee experience. Additionally, Brewed hosts private events such as weddings, corporate parties, and other celebrations, offering a unique space for memorable gatherings.

The barista role at Brewed is crafted for individuals who are passionate about the food and beverage industry, particularly those who enjoy educating customers and sharing their knowledge about brewing methods and quality control. Baristas are tasked not only with preparing and serving drinks and food but also with creating a welcoming environment where customers feel valued and informed. This position involves engaging directly with guests, answering questions, taking orders, and managing payments. Maintaining a clean and well-stocked workspace is essential, as is assisting with takeout orders and phone inquiries when necessary.

The ideal candidate will have a warm, friendly attitude combined with a commitment to excellent service. Brewing coffee and tea with precision and care is central to the job, including responsibilities like grinding and blending coffee beans, brewing drinks, and ensuring the consistency and quality of each beverage served. Baristas at Brewed also contribute creatively by helping develop new drink recipes and preparing specialty ingredients like syrups. Attention to detail in calibrating equipment such as espresso machines and grinders is crucial.

This part-time or full-time position offers an hourly rate of $12.00 with additional income generated through an automatic tip out based on net sales from servers and bartenders, leading to an estimated average earnings between $20 and $25 per hour. The work environment is high-energy and team-oriented, emphasizing collaboration and supporting the overall customer experience. Employees enjoy a culture rooted in core values such as making people smile, teamwork, celebration, adding value, recognizing everyone's worth, and maintaining integrity in all actions.

Brewed promotes a positive work environment enriched by diversity, inclusion, and mutual respect. The restaurant's commitment to work-life balance is reflected in its hours (8:00 am to 3:00 pm, excluding special events) and meaningful holidays off, including Thanksgiving and Christmas. Employees receive discounts of up to 50% as well as free coffee during their shifts, reinforcing Brewed's dedication to taking care of its team members.

If you are enthusiastic about sharing your love for coffee and food, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and seek a role where you can both learn and teach, joining Brewed's team as a barista could be an excellent fit. The role not only offers competitive pay and benefits but also the opportunity to be part of a community-focused establishment that values connection and quality in every cup and plate served.
