The Food & Beverage Expert role at Target plays a pivotal part in creating a seamless and enjoyable shopping experience in the grocery and food service sections of the store. Working in the Food & Beverage team means being responsible for ensuring that all products are fresh, well-stocked, accurately priced, and beautifully presented. This team exemplifies operational excellence by managing inventory accuracy, food safety compliance, product replenishment, and promotional activities. It is a fast-paced, customer-centric position that requires attention to detail, teamwork, and a passion for food quality and guest service.

As a Food & Beverage Expert, you will be at the frontline of the guest experience, greeting and assisting shoppers, resolving their questions, and ensuring they have access to fresh, well-organized products throughout the store. Your role involves working closely with peers and vendors to maintain organized shelving and backroom storage, rotate stock to maintain freshness and safety, and execute merchandising plans that reflect current promotions and seasonal trends. Given the dynamic nature of retail food service operations, no two days are exactly the same, providing opportunities for constant learning and growth.

Target values team members who enjoy interacting with others, thrive in fast-moving environments, and demonstrate flexibility in their schedules. Whether it's early morning stocking or handling inquiries during peak shopping hours, the Food & Beverage Expert is a multi-faceted role that balances operational duties with exceptional guest service. The role requires adherence to rigorous food safety standards and compliance with federal, state, and local laws related to food and beverage sales, including adult beverage regulations.

Starting at $15.50 USD per hour, this position offers a comprehensive training program designed to equip team members with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel. While previous food or grocery experience is preferred, it is not required, as Target invests heavily in the development of its team. Candidates must be at least 18 years old and demonstrate a friendly, open attitude toward guests and coworkers. Physical stamina and the ability to operate technology such as handheld scanners are necessary, along with willingness to work in varying temperatures, including refrigeration and freezer environments.
