At Hy-Vee, the workforce is considered a vital strength, and employees are encouraged to be engaged, supportive, and collaborative to ensure a positive experience for both customers and their teammates.
The Barista position at Hy-Vee’s Coffee Shop department offers an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic team dedicated to delivering excellent customer service and fresh, quality coffee products. As a Barista, you will play a crucial role in reviewing and filling customer orders, preparing coffee and other beverages safely, and maintaining a clean and organized work environment. This non-exempt role reports to multiple leadership positions including the District Store Director and Coffee Shop Department Manager, ensuring a supportive structure for growth and development.
In this position, the primary responsibility is to provide friendly, courteous, and efficient service to customers, enhancing their overall shopping experience. The Barista is expected to greet customers warmly, learn their names when possible, and assist them with their orders, whether at the counter or through facilitating their navigation of the store. Handling food safely, maintaining product freshness, and following strict hygiene and company policies are essential aspects of the daily routine.

The role requires a growth mindset and a results-oriented approach, with attentiveness to customer needs and professionalism in all interactions. Beyond direct customer engagement, responsibilities include managing inventory, checking deliveries, replenishing stock, and operating the department register when needed. Applicants should expect to work in a fast-paced retail environment where multitasking and adaptability are crucial.

The Coffee Shop Barista position is an excellent entry-level opportunity for individuals seeking to build a career in retail food service, especially within a company that prioritizes employee satisfaction and community presence. Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a pre-employment drug screen, reflecting Hy-Vee’s commitment to safety and quality.
