Central to Target's culture is the development and growth of its team members, fostering a collaborative environment that encourages talent nurturing and career progression. This vibrant culture makes Target a compelling place to work where employees unite to provide a fresh, full, and food-safe shopping experience daily.
The Target team located in Reno, Nevada, is expanding its food and beverage division, particularly the Starbucks segment, offering a flexible role for a Starbucks Barista.

Paying an hourly rate starting at $17.00, this gig/contract role within the thriving Reno market enables team members to gain hands-on experience creating handcrafted Starbucks products while maintaining high standards of food quality, safety, and guest experience.
As a Starbucks Barista on our Team, you will play a pivotal role in delivering superior service and maintaining a consistent Starbucks experience inside our Target store. Your daily responsibilities will encompass crafting customized Starbucks beverages, managing food and beverage processes such as inventory replenishment and rotation, maintaining stringent food safety and cleanliness standards, and engaging authentically with guests to exceed their expectations. You will also support specialized services such as the Starbucks Drive Up for fulfilling digital orders, ensuring every guest receives prompt and accurate service. This role requires a blend of guest-focused interaction and operational excellence within a fast-paced environment.

Beyond professional growth, this job exposes you to the energetic and diverse environment of a major retail hub, fulfilling the needs of customers in Reno.
