This dedication makes Sodexo not just a place to work, but a place where your work truly makes a difference.

The position available is for a Barista I at the UC Health Memorial Hospital North, a critical healthcare location served by Sodexo’s food service team. This part-time role offers weekend shifts including afternoon, evening, and overnight hours, with pay ranging from $19.50 to $21.84 per hour. As a Barista I, you will play a vital role in delivering outstanding customer service and creating high-quality handcrafted beverages that brighten the day of hospital visitors, patients, and staff.

In this role, you will greet guests warmly and provide swift, personalized service to ensure a welcoming atmosphere. Your responsibilities will include mixing and preparing hot and cold beverages, from classic coffee and espresso drinks to specialty teas and fruit blends, all while carefully considering customer preferences. Maintaining good customer relations and ensuring fast delivery of beverages and any accompanying food items will be part of your daily routine.

You will also take an active role in educating guests about menu options and promoting additional products through suggestive selling, enhancing their overall experience. Presentation matters, so arranging supplies and display items attractively at the coffee bar or cart is essential. Maintaining cleanliness by regularly cleaning coffee machines, preparation areas, and service spaces will ensure a hygienic environment aligned with health and safety standards.

Accuracy in sales recording, cash handling, and register operation are critical duties, alongside the physical requirement to be on your feet for long periods often exceeding 8 hours. This includes the ability to lift, push, pull and carry weights up to 35 pounds regularly, and occasionally up to 50 pounds. Reliability in attendance and punctuality for scheduled shifts is mandatory in this fast-paced, customer-facing position.

Overall, being a Barista I with Sodexo means more than just beverage preparation; it means being a vital part of a team dedicated to enhancing everyday experiences through excellent service, attention to detail, and a commitment to health and safety. This role offers a flexible work environment, ongoing training opportunities, and a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being and career growth.
