As an Operations Associate/Barista, you will be directly involved in the preparation of handcrafted Starbucks beverages while simultaneously managing inventory and organizing facility spaces to support swift and accurate order fulfillment. Your work will ensure that customers consistently receive fresh, accurate, and high-quality food and drink orders.

The position requires adaptability, attention to detail, and a customer-first mindset. No two days are the same in this dynamic role; duties vary from restocking shelves and preparing food and beverages to packing orders and supporting incoming deliveries.
