Job Description

Aramark is a global leader in food, facilities, and uniform services, serving millions of customers each day across 15 countries. Known for its commitment to delivering exceptional service, Aramark fosters a diverse and inclusive workplace that celebrates the skills and contributions of its employees. With a strong emphasis on professional development, the company offers extensive training programs and career progression opportunities to empower staff at every level. Aramark values sustainability and community engagement, ensuring that its operations positively impact not only its customers and employees but also the environment and the societies in which it operates.

The cafe barista role at Aramark offers an exciting chance to join a vibrant and sociable work environment, perfect for individuals who thrive in high-energy settings and seek meaningful customer interactions. This full-time position involves crafting specialty beverages such as coffee, tea, and unique drinks while assisting in food preparation to meet specific brand and health standards. Baristas are responsible for managing cash and credit card transactions accurately through the POS system, maintaining cleanliness and order at their stations, and ensuring that customers receive outstanding service by anticipating their needs and creating a friendly atmosphere.

Working as a cafe barista at Aramark means more than just preparing drinks. It's about becoming a key part of a dynamic team that upholds rigorous sanitation and safety guidelines to guarantee food safety and customer satisfaction. The role demands attention to detail in maintaining equipment hygiene and proper handling of all food and beverage items. Baristas also support the store's day-to-day operations by stocking beverage coolers, snacks, and condiments, as well as performing cashier duties including bank deposits and cash drawer management according to Aramark’s policies.
