Job Description

7 Brew is an innovative coffee company that is revolutionizing the drive-thru experience by combining speed and convenience with a strong, purpose-driven culture. Established as a modern cafe and drive-thru concept, 7 Brew offers a wide range of deliciously imaginative beverages, making it a popular destination for coffee lovers who appreciate quality and creativity. The company prides itself on fostering a positive and inclusive work environment that values kindness, teamwork, and exceptional customer service. With locations such as the Vernon branch, 7 Brew continues to grow by maintaining an unwavering commitment to delivering unique and memorable experiences for every guest that visits their drive-thru lanes.

The role of Brewista at 7 Brew is central to the company’s mission of inspiring a community of kindness through revolutionary coffee experiences. As a Brewista, you become an essential face of the company, directly interacting with customers and ensuring that every order is crafted with care and accuracy. Brewistas not only prepare and serve a range of innovative drinks but also build genuine connections with guests, adding a personal touch that differentiates the 7 Brew experience from other coffee establishments. This position offers the opportunity to work in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment where enthusiasm and positivity are valued every day. The starting pay for this role ranges from $18 to $20 per hour, including tips, making it an attractive opportunity for individuals passionate about coffee and guest service.

This position requires energy, attention to detail, and a commitment to excellence. Brewistas must be adept at multitasking, managing orders efficiently while maintaining a warm and inviting demeanor. The job involves operating the point-of-sale system to take and confirm orders, handling payments accurately, and preparing customized beverages to meet customer preferences. The role also demands physical stamina, as Brewistas spend much of their shift standing and working outdoors in the drive-thru lanes, often in varying weather conditions. Beyond technical skills, the ideal candidate thrives on creating memorable experiences through kindness, attentiveness, and effective communication, ultimately helping 7 Brew to maintain its reputation as a leader in innovative coffee service.
