Job Description

Target is a leading retail corporation known for its commitment to bringing joy and inspiration to all families through everyday shopping experiences. With its nationwide presence, Target continuously strives to offer a welcoming shopping environment distinguished by great customer service, quality products, and competitive prices. Rooted deeply in its values and culture, Target fosters growth opportunities for its team members, encouraging meaningful career development and skill-building.

The Food & Beverage department at Target plays a critical role in maintaining fresh, fully stocked, and properly priced products to provide an exceptional guest shopping experience. This team manages operations such as inventory accuracy, food safety, presentation, merchandising, and promotional signage, ensuring consistency across all food and beverage areas within the store.

As a Food & Beverage Expert at Target, you will be an integral part of creating vibrant and enjoyable shopping experiences while gaining valuable expertise in food retail operations. Starting with an hourly wage of $15.75 USD, this role offers hands-on involvement in inventory management, food safety compliance, guest service, and merchandising techniques that contribute to the business's success.

No two days are the same for a Food & Beverage Expert. Responsibilities range from replenishing stock and organizing merchandise to interacting with guests and collaborating with vendors. You will uphold Target's standards in food quality, freshness, and safety while implementing business fundamentals such as managing department sales trends and inventory. Your role is essential in maintaining compliance with federal, state, and local laws, ensuring ethical conduct and safety at all times.

This position offers an active, dynamic work environment where teamwork, flexibility, and creative problem-solving drive success. You will develop strong communication skills, operate various technological tools, and help foster a welcoming atmosphere for guests shopping in food and beverage sections.

Target provides comprehensive training to equip new hires with the necessary knowledge and skills, although previous food or grocery experience is preferred but not mandatory. The role demands physical stamina, as duties may involve lifting up to 44 pounds, standing for extended periods, climbing ladders, and working in various temperature conditions. You will also handle cash register duties, support guest service functions such as order pickup and Drive-Up, and ensure the accuracy of all food processes.

By joining Target's Food & Beverage team, you become part of an inclusive workplace dedicated to ethical behavior, safety, and guest-first culture.
