Job Description

Better Buzz Coffee Roasters is a vibrant and dynamic company that has cultivated a strong and passionate community centered around the craft of high-quality coffee. Founded in 2002 by two college students with a simple dream and a coffee cart, the company has since expanded into a thriving enterprise with multiple locations across California, Nevada, and Arizona. Better Buzz distinguishes itself not only through its organically grown, fair trade, and rainforest-certified coffee, which is roasted weekly, but also through its commitment to connection, energy, and authenticity. The company fosters an inclusive culture that values diversity and individuality, encouraging team members to be bold and authentically themselves. Better Buzz prides itself on creating experiences that go beyond just coffee; it aims to make every guest's day better through quality service and genuine connection. As an equal opportunity employer, Better Buzz celebrates differences and ensures access and accommodations for all qualified applicants including those with disabilities.

The role of the Better Buzz Barista is a key part of bringing the company's mission to life in every cafe. This position offers an exciting opportunity to earn up to $21 per hour including tips, with a base pay of $17.00 per hour. Baristas at Better Buzz are the energetic heart of the cafe, delivering fast, friendly, and genuine service while embodying the brand's lifestyle and community values.

Availability to work at least 22 hours per week, including nights, weekends, and holidays, is necessary to meet the demands of this fast-paced and team-oriented environment. The company offers a variety of perks including free drinks and food on shift, a 35 percent discount on retail products, ongoing opportunities for career growth, dedicated training with certified ambassadors, paid sick time, and a supportive, high-energy workplace culture.
