Job Description

Aramark is a global leader in food services, facilities management, and uniform services, operating in 15 countries worldwide. The company is renowned for delivering exceptional service to millions of clients every day, spanning across various industries including education, healthcare, sports, and business. Aramark places a strong emphasis on inclusivity and equality, fostering a diverse workplace where every employee has the opportunity to grow professionally and personally. It is committed to supporting talent development and offering clear pathways for career advancement, making it an attractive employer for individuals passionate about building rewarding careers in service-oriented roles.

The Coffee Barista position at Aramark is designed for energetic and service-driven individuals who thrive in fast-paced and social environments. As a full-time Barista, you will be a crucial part of the team, responsible for preparing specialty coffee and tea drinks, assisting with food preparation, and ensuring each customer receives a top-notch experience. This role offers a unique blend of customer interaction, technical skills in beverage preparation, and adherence to brand standards, providing an excellent opportunity for those looking to ignite their passion for coffee and customer service.

In this role, baristas skillfully handle payments through a register/POS system, managing cash and credit transactions accurately to ensure a smooth checkout process. Greeting and assisting customers by anticipating their needs is key to delivering a personalized and friendly service. Baristas are expected to consistently meet the brand's quality standards by crafting drinks and preparing food that meet Aramark's outline for presentation and taste. Maintaining cleanliness and organization within the coffee bar and related areas is an ongoing responsibility, emphasizing the importance of hygiene and a tidy work environment.

Aramark encourages its baristas to support the team by replenishing stock, sanitizing equipment regularly, and following all health and safety protocols meticulously. The company also requires baristas to process necessary cashier documentation and bank deposits efficiently, ensuring all financial procedures comply with company policies. The role involves physical activity such as lifting, bending, pushing, pulling, and extended standing and walking, and baristas must be prepared to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as needed to maintain safety standards.

While previous barista experience is advantageous, Aramark welcomes candidates with customer service skills and cash handling experience to apply. Communication skills in English, basic math proficiency, and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision are essential. Food Handling Certification requirements must be met, and compliance with dress codes is mandatory. Working at Aramark offers more than just a job; it is an opportunity to join a company dedicated to environmental stewardship, community involvement, and employee welfare.
